    I seem to be getting very little work done this afternoon.

    Did G win that climb on Tourmalet?

    No, that bastard Jeremy Roy didn't read the script.

    It's like dropping off the edge of the earth that corner at the top!

    Voeckler, Gilbert, Cunego going well. Feel Leopard have got it all wrong today.

    Right now I'd put a bet that Pip will win a GT before he retires. Well, podium at least

    Is there nothing Gilbert can't do? Does this mean that it's time to remove my rose-tinted glasses as to his amazing abilities?

    Is he not trying to put himself in front to limit the amount of time he loses up Luz Ardiden?

    Probably.

    But how many riders have enough sense to do that in his situation?

    Pierre Roland on the front means the pace is not demanding...

    Kreuziger looks like i'd look in that position!
