    He stops because Fedrigo's refusing to help.

    Have you got a computer? You can turn the TV sound off and listen to eurosport audio online.

    damn ITV4 doesn't start till 3pm. what numb-skull took a look at a bunch of pyramids early on in this stage and a long line at the end of the stage and said "you know, instead of the usual 2:30 we had better start at 3pm, those mtns are so boring, they go slow and don't crash, we want the fast stuff with the crashes, yeah, that'll please the viewing public"

    idiots - just in time to see them descned - yawn

    F*cking ITV not starting their coverage until 3pm. Showing some God-awful Police Camera Action type show instead. What is wrong with these people?!

    If Armstrong wins this it will be, for many, a 'Fairy-tale' finish. Then again, as Kimmage once said, 'There are no fairy-tales in cycling'.

    They had better make sure they don't go too fast for him then, otherwise there will be no pay-day. :wink:

    They might be doing you a favor. It's the LA show, well according to Paul and Phil.

    We've been given a little bit of everything - 'The Look', the 285 zillion dollars he's raised for cancer research.

    How LA is a legend for attacking, and then Barredo counters, and he's an idiot for trying to go solo.


    In other news. Thor is a legend. Where is that doping Pettachi??

    Oi less of the 'old man' he's only 38! Spring chicken I'll tell you.

    Are they? I haven't listened to them. But are there ANY cycling commentators that people actually like?

    I liike Phil & Paul. Even if it's not an exciting stage you get entertainment out of them saying the wrong names or saying names wrong!

    No-one worth their salt on this forum would ever admit that.

    Way to cool for school to like cycling commentators :wink:

    According to LeTour, Fredderigo and Lance were talking. I wonder if brown envelopes were being mentioned.

    If (and I suppose its a big if) Horner and Armstrong are together in the leading group when they get to the finish will this be enough of an advantage to help Armstrong win the stage? Would Horner be any good as a lead out man?

    I'm loving Eurosport's coverage. Harmon and Kelly do a great job of covering stages with minimal action. Plenty of internet feeds if you don't like them.

    The script calls for a solo win from Armstrong, winning from a sprint would be just too unbelievable. :wink:
