    Brilliant blog. Especially Schleck getting 'The Bully' wrong.
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    You have to be confident of winning if you plan to carry a bloody great sword around for the entire race (Ryan Trebon right at the bottom).

    Flecha's is the best though - even though only get to see it once every five years.

    I kept imagining all the possible catastrophic hand-overs of the sword and just couldn't stop giggling for hours.

    Robbie McEwen's famed "running man" wins it for me.

    Why does Gerdemann have an antenna growing out of his head?
    'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'

    Zabel's MSR salute really should be called "The Major F@ck-Up".

    Maybe Bob wants to keep track of his movements to ensure he's not nipping down to Freiburg for a top up?
