    If Cav wasn't so far ahead of all the other sprinters I genuinely think Gilbert would win green. He really is forcing himself into pretty elite company now.


    Who? The most prolific sprinter the tour has ever seen or the best classics rider (IMHO best rider) on the planet?

    I think both have been elite for some time now.

    I was referring to Gilbert showing that there is yet another string to his bow, he's on the right track to being talked about in the same breath as Sean Kelly.

    Seems when he told Ned Boulting at the finish that he hadn't seen the papers before the stage he was being a bit economical with the truth.
    Gasping - but somehow still alive !

    Poor old ten Dam - a face only a mother could love.

    And that was before the crash... :wink:

    Is that Carcassonne Castle (used in Robin Hood(Kevin Costner film)). I rode my bike through Carcassonne once in my 20's and never saw the Castle but I did stop at a lovely eatery by the name of McDonalds. :wink:
