    Allan Davis must be gutted that he had two tries, but didn't get on the podium. Did he lose Allan Davis' wheel? :lol:

    Another Sky failure. Surely Brailsford's position is untenable now?

    Sky well organised again but Griepel just blitzes everyone in the sprint. Good effort from Henderson for 2nd.

    Are you referring to 'Feel the Rush!'?

    It's a shocker. I reckon I hear the song in it's entirety 15-20 times a day. I literally go to sleep humming the words!!!

    They've used this "tune" for probably 7 years now.

    It drives me nuts!!!

    I love it, though I only hear about thirty seconds a day. I can understand the torture that working beneath it would case.

    Also, mega lolz at Lance getting owned by Team Sky.

    "Love changes everything" has been No1 on the charts here in Adelaide for 3 week now. We're all pretty excited - we've got word up that a 4 piece from the UK is starting to get their music played on radio.

    I think they are called the beatles (or similar).
