Another one for sprinters. The Shack hoping for wind.

That Japanese fellow says he's going to attack.

    They go through a place called Moussy, appropriate for the champagne region.

    Should be one of those stages where you can tune in for the last 5km and not miss a trick. Big pressure on Cav and the team today.

    and only getting hotter apparently.

    Cav needs to get that monkey off his back otherwise I fancy he'll pack in Saturday or Sunday.

    Wiggins crashed in the neutralised zone today. According to his team he's in a bit of pain but is okay. #Tdf 2 minutes ago via web

    Not so sure, Cav's a determined little b*gger and he loves this race and everything it stands for. Even if he stinks up the next couple of days I reckon he'll hold out for the Champs Elysees sprint...

    I think that's the point, he hasn't been very determined lately. It is a mental problem, but its a mental problem that's caused by a physical one. He just can't do it.

    The break has gone, but their gap has gone up and then come down again quite a lot. Currently at 5.30

    On a completely unrelated note, have Lampre signed anyone recently?

    I bet if they have 30 seconds with 20km left Liggett will be getting excited and asking if the bunch have mistimed the chase.

    I know who Pinotti won't be signing for next year.

    I'd prefer an excited Liggett to Harmon and Kelly discussing groinal chafing and garden-based train sets at length....

    Didn't get in the break although told Cyclingnews he would be. He's most likely pissed.

    what my wife told me, I thought it was Harmon and Kirby, then Kirby trying to interupt Harmon in full audio flow to say something he missed on the screen. She told me that Sean made a brief comment and didn't want to know and the silence was deafening then saved by the ad break. :wink:
    They both must get saddle sores on their motorbikes then,

    These days I prefer P&P as the are commentating what's on screen in Sync.
    I just switch off when they go Stateside or on that other planet.

    I could have done with some of that. First week back after two weeks in Provence, temperatures in the mid 30's every day and nothing to do but ride my bike. I had to buy a couple of sleeveless tops. :D

    Yeah, Harmon's doing his side to side record attempt on a motorbike.

    Oh no, wait. It's a tandem. :roll:

    Sleeveless tops are a breach of the rules. :D
