    Wonder what could have caused Valverde's dramatic loss of form?
  • Ha, Valverde has been shelled.

    In the olden days I would empathise with him but now you wonder if it is the mysterious "Dauphine" effect kicking in.

    I have Eurosport feeding through to my phone from my Slingbox at home. Works very nicely, although it is hard concentrating on work at the same time!

    The camera just does not give you any idea of how steep it is, that last bit is 20%!

    thanks for posting that - it allowed me a few minutes of sneaky watching between clients this afternoon, although the link disappeared when there was only a few km to go. Most likely something to do with the crap computers at work [:(]
