    Rumours they're considering neutralising the stage due to the wind....

    If it was just the top 7 in the race....

    Once we're on the Ventoux, surely Andy to go up the road first, marked by AC, with everyone else letting them. Then it's up to Frank to solo up and join them. Then LA has to counter to defend third, with Kloden to help him. Brad and Nibali to mark those two, and then it's up to them to attack Lance towards the top.

    It'll be interesting to see what impact Sastre and anyone else can have on this

    After waffling about lavendar, Sherwen just mentioned the local crops of rosemary, baysil and cilantro - what a transatlantic horrorshow he's turning into

    If it isn't castles or artwork by the farmers, Paul and Phil are going on about wine.

    It is very annoying if you are a beer drinker.

    Making a cup of coffee is like making love to a beautiful woman. It's got to be hot. You've got to take your time. You've got to stir... gently and firmly. You've got to grind your beans until they squeak.
    And then you put in the milk.

    annoying if you dont like castles but prefer semi-detached houses.

    France's vineyards aren't well known for beer production. I think they are well known for wine though.
