    Do you promise to name him/her after the stage winner?

    I tried this on. but for some reason the Mrs wouldn't go with 'Yaroslav'

    He's gone home. Tell the wife that if the break stays away there's a one in six chance of getting Geraint. However, there's also a chance of getting Blel.

    Alternatively, SaxoBank might send Hernandez up the road and there's a chance you could name the child "Jesús Jones" (though I think that may have been done before)

    Ah Johnny...

    It's the stuff of novels.


    Can't help but feel he's going to implode.

    Wouldn't he be better off saving his energy for Saturday?

    Except today is his 5th birthday, hence the Yaroslav thing!

    Not sure how Jesús would go down in his (Catholic) primary school....

    Rode over Horquette, albiet from the other side, on a Sportive a few years ago... really narrow and the descent is through the kind of forest you can imagine a bear emerging out of... There's a really scummy bit of road that goes up up again before you get into the forest too, was slippy with leaves and such when I rode it. Also some cattle grids :twisted:

    It feeds out onto the bottom of the Aspin.

    I would not like to go down the second half of this descent with a back break I'm not sure of!

    Crash carnage causes Kloden to get more hurt. Road rash shoulder.
    Great save by Tommy V.

    It's definitely the same because I initially thought Thomas had been distracted by the woman waving a Welsh flag.

    Whats this "Time Trial mode, David? There's about 1km of flat between bottom of this and the bottom of the Tourmalet.

    They turn left through St. Marie du Campan... and we all knew what happened there, it's almost worth putting Phil N Paul to hear it one more time...
