    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.


    What is this bike porn?

    Paul - "He's coming in here now.......... to drop his load" - that's one way of putting it.

    Contador's had plenty of rest (from the wind) in the Peleton - he's going to be fresh for the climb - not pleased seeing Andy exposed at the front for the last hour. Could cost Andy and Frank on the Ventoux.

    Can't take any more of Sherwen's verbal diarrhoea - have turned the sound down and am listening to the Eurosport audio feed on the web. The delay is tolerable. I love Kelly's take on the tactics. Much better than Sherwen/Liggett stating the obvious six times a minute.

    Exactly. Vanotti is 98, Nibs is 95.

    It's the place where Olano was dropped in 2000. He'll lose 10-15 minutes.

    Ermmmm... yep, that's what it looks like so far.
