Now just hubba hubba!

You're always a hubber....

mmmm... Tweets 16hJonathan Vaughters‏@Vaughters Would have been better for Froome to just drop Wiggo by 20 seconds or whatever and settle it in the time trial. That was just humiliation.

Froomes bird is hot, here'e a pic:

My favourite bird.

Answered my own question, ta Google.... http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/03/bikes-and-tech/colnago-brings-the-discs_208467

Did'nt Colnago recently build a roadie bike with Hydraulic brakes?

How often do the guys get tested in the tour? Cos this whole saga makes no sense, if they are tested a few times over the tour and one sample comes back clear and another from a day or later comes back positive, if that is the case the guys should be banned not for taking the dope, but for being stupid enough to get caught taking dope during the biggest cycling event of the year.

I would also like to know...

The doping wont deter me, I made peace many moons ago that they all dope, so who cares really? Let them all take what the want, will make for great TV making bets who will have a heartattack on the climbs.

I reckon this Wiggens/Froome thing is getting blown out of proportion, I don't reckon there is too much going on at Sky itself, but more in the media and with girlfriends etc.

Thanx, that's him, he hurt Valverde and Basso, that takes some doing, what a machine.

The real hero's in this tour are the lads that ride themselves into oblivion for their team, I forget his name now, but the lad from Europcar who put the hurt into so many big names to help Rolland to win the day, he rode like a superstar! He was my hero of the day. Wiggens gesture to Nibali on the line was also nice to see. We all forget that Froome is there to ride for Wiggens like it or not, he is a true professional and we should all maybe not get too caught up with what is happening at Sky, his time will come and when he wins this thing he would have done the right way. He has earned respect this year from the entire peloton and fans. Man oh man Le Tour is great again!

Spartacus was saying he may have a winning time at the same instant a lightie spanked his time at the first time split.

Froome at Sky with the current setup, money, sponsors, riders and equipment is just what he needs I reckon, like it or not Wiggens outclassed the entire field today, this is his tour to lose. Froome's time will come, he is still very young and the experience he gains in the next season or two will do him no harm. He seems to hav the head for this and has a wonderful career ahead of him. How nice will it be in the near future when a talented all out good guy wins the tour?

The big dogs are starting to come out and play, I'm on my way to a "meeting"

I remember last year Andy Schleck rode the TT with the Yellow jersey on. We all remember how that went...

A good bike stand.

That's actually quite a profound statement if you think about it.

I got my son the Mongoose Rockadile for Christmas, a really great bike, the spec is good and he loves it, but, I would have gone for the Momsen if I had more money, the Mongoose is 12,5 kgs and the Momsen is 8,7, for a lightie that is a massive difference, imagine you could drop your bikes weight by almost 50%, the absence of a suspension for on the Momsen is no big deal yet, and you can always retrofit one at a later stage. The Mongoose was around R3,5k and the Momsen is around R7-8 I think... Depending on your budget there are only 2 choices the Mongoose Rockadile or the Momsen, I investigated the specs of all the brands and the Mongoose won the spc battle hands down. The Avalanche spec was poor, the Scott was tha same as the Mongoose with a better fork, but waaaay too pricey, the Giant was also ok, the colors were *** and the RD was shite, the Silverback, Titan and GT were similar in price but the spec was far inferior to the Mongoose. Another plus with the Rockadile is that the top tube is bent down a bit, so it is a lot easier for a short lightie to climb onto the bike and less chance of them drilling their pill box on the top tube. The Cyan color of the Rockadile is nice too.

Well for me it is nice thet we are getting stuck into riders at the tour for their manners and attitude and not for a positive dope test. I reckon Cadel will let it all hang out today, bring on the fireworks! Marking a leader and following a breakaway up a mountain is a lot easier than a TT, today is Wiggens vs Evans, no one else, it's up to them, I reckon Evans will show his class today! Go peophol gessigie!

Just watched Mark Webbers interview after his GP win at Silverstone, and wonder what they feed sportsman in Austraila, he also has a poephol on his chin.

I actually agree with Wiggens in this instance, you busy riding your gat off and some moron on a social network starts shouting his mouth off that you're a doper etc, taken in context the oke deserved the rant.

How awesome was the FDJ manager shouting at Pinot!! There is the passion we've been missing, agree with previous post, love it when a Breakaway makes it stick, this tour will be won in the ITT, but lost in the big mountains.

There's goes my Taaramae prediction...
