    You watch cycling all year round, then when the TDF rolls around, you always forget just how much bigger it is than everything else put together... look at the size of the crowd... in the rain :shock:

    Did you guys see the bloody mouth/face of Mathias Frank? Yikes! A dangerous course with the rain.

    Was Brailsford using bbc.co.uk's 5 days forecast for the weather prediction? Rookie mistake.

    Sean Kelly was commentating on that race. Apparently at one point, Poos was laying 'turd on the road.

    IGMC too.

    Yeah, probably a bad idea to make Armstrong angry on the day of a TDF prologue...
