    So many GC contenders eating tarmac this year. What's with all the bike changes too? Are these weighed after the stage?

    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...

    Ha ha briiliant.

    Ho ho ho, Voigt and Cancellara to reprise their: "Let us big guys drop all the contenders on the Tourmalet," routine. :roll:

    Don't forget old man O'Grady too. Amazing, truly amazing. In a Hincapie kind of way.

    [Cancellara sings] I said hello, Johnny,......well, hello, Johnny
    It's so nice to have you back where you belong
    You're lookin' swell, Johnny.......i can tell, Johnny
    You're still glowin'...you're still crowin'...you're still goin' strong
    I feel that room swayin'......while the band's playin'
    One of your old favourite songs from way back when
    So..... take her wrap, fellas.......find her an empty lap, fellas
    Johnny'll never go away again [/Cancellara sings]

    I don't think it's possible to have a total ceasefire on the Tourmalet, as it's so bloody hard it'll always catch somebody out.
