I'll say this - we do know he'll try...

I was going to like that comment - but could not bring myself to like a post wishing success on Voeckler!

Is Goss in the hunt? Hoping he has a clean run-in so Daryl can lead him out - best chance he has to take Yellow I reckon... Otherwsie as he said in his blog, he is not going to sprint against his mate Gerro for it...

ja I was hoping Pinot would have a crack at the polka dot jersey but he's shown no interest so far...

this is when lotto should be all over the front... make Cav suffer for it

hmmm... I have TJ and Pinot as well. Talansky was the other youngster I ws thinking about but went for Pinot instead - not so sure that was a good move...

haha I felt like that at last years Race for Victory - got guttered and felt like crying for my mommy a few times. Nice to know riding in B group in the highveld is EXACTLY the same as riding in the tour peleton...

thanks - now you know what song I have stuck in my head!

me too. I am banking on him taking one of the big high mountain stages, and top 2 in young riders...

this time round I reckon your crystal ball will be on the money...

get the sense Cav isn't trying all that hard for the intermediates though...

*** one...

Figures. He was my ASG comp pic today...

Something to try from my balcony on the next clear night...

Wonder if any of the teams are up for causing a little gutter mayem today

that runway has a 12% gradiant - could do some decent hill trianing there... except for the fact its only 450m or so long....

Useful info for the peloton.... For eg. avoid riding behind Mr Bonnet today...

have they defended hard enough though... I'm not watching but looking at the time splits looks like it could et a bit tight...

And Daryl used to ride for local team from the area Lepomme Marseille....

you should find a new sport to watch.

Ja but he's all about the team - I don't think he had much left after his lead out sprint, but at that point he maybe forgot about the subsequent yellow possibilities... sure he could have pushed on just a little after Gerrans kicked

they're already about 45k's in I think. Last I heard a break was away with a decent gap. of over 10 minutes

yes! Its not that complicated - time rules, and if riders can't be separated on time then the sum of their finishing positions on stages separates them.

Top Gear circa 1916?

+1 control what you can control and do what you can do. If you don't (in my eyes) you lose the right to complain about the police / NPA / government / whoever not doing their jobs.
