After winning the opening time trial of the Dauphin‚ Lib‚r‚ stage race a week ago I can say I'm definitely in the frame for the prologue of the Tour de France in London in 20 days' time. The Dauphin‚ is a good indicator for the Tour: if you look at the result from last year, the top four or five riders were there or thereabouts in the Tour prologue at Strasbourg.

Double standards (Comparing baseball and cycling involvement with drugs)

On Monday night in San Francisco, Barry Bonds 'went deep' against Toronto's Josh Towers to register home run number 747 of his career and move to within eight of Hank Aaron's all-time career record. Denoting longevity as well as talent, it is perhaps the most hallowed mark in baseball, the sport that prides itself as America's national pastime, yet should Bonds pass it there are those that would like to see an asterisk beside his name.

Try today's Sunday Times - the In Gear section has a piece about the Tour and a piece about me - which is good.

Phrase of the week - I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

There was an interesting article in the Travel section of The Observer yesterday on Le Tour in London - http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2007/j ... ngholidays

I love this bit;

<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">The day before we set off, an email from Mike popped into my inbox: 'I'll bring a tube of painkilling gel. Also, I tend to smear my shorts with chamois cream, which sounds disgusting but really helps. Just smear your nethers in Savlon before you set out and you'll be fine.' Cycling may be super-macho, but at the same time, it really is gay.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
