    going to be very intrested to see how Porte goes, he had a big day yesterday. From what ive seen of him he seems to climb pretty well but against the likes of Valverde might be a bit much would love to see him stay in the top ten.
    Take care of the luxuries and the necessites will take care of themselves.

    Well Caisse d'Epargne are stringing it out at the moment on a descent, so Valverde is obviously going to try something today.

    Depends on how hard the finish is. The profiles have been fairly misleading so far.

    Ignatiev!

    The exclamation mark is actually part of his name.

    Somehow, that's what I actually suspected was the correct answer. :oops:

    Harsh.

    Menchov attacking. He's still upright.

    No win for Sagan today.

    Not many riders left in front now. Think my PTP GC pick of Machado has been dropped :cry:

    Anyone seen Gilbert's jersey? I think it is a very good idea.

    5km for Spilak, 33" in the lead, 35" down on GC. Bonus seconds may decide it.

    Of course I expected to get "clued" up about the Frankfurt winner on the Romandie thread.
    Well done tit.

    Deserved win for Spilak as the big boys prefer to wait for tomorrow?

    Looks like Gilbert isn't wearing this new jersey.

    "The Omega Pharma-Lotto team of International Cycling Union (UCI) World Ranking leader Philippe Gilbert has announced the team will present him with a special jersey to signify his accomplishment after the Tour of Romandie stage four finish in Châtel, France."

    There are ways of pointing things out and there are others. The way you did it reflected badly on you I'm afraid.
