    Less than 25 km until the traditional first-day pile-up.

    Those yellow helmets are bloody horrible. Why do we need to know which is the next team in the competition? It's not even that relevant.

    And what I could understand of Roche sounded quite good. Will they put subtitles on it for the repeat as I'd have loved to have understood everything.

    The helmets harken back to the days of the top team wearing green cycling caps.

    When the break is caught I predict a Hoogerland death or glory attack.

    Anyone see Canc as an outside bet today? Bit of a power/cobble climb to the finish.

    Definitely wouldn't rule it out. The final km is only 2% or thereabouts.

    And what would have happened if somebody had broken a wrist/ collar bone?? Idiotic fan gets away scot free... :evil:
    You don't need idiots like that adding more danger to the race.

    Griepel's like a basking shark on the front. He's dishing out some pain there.

    Hincapie timed that move perfectly to bring Cadel up.
  • Cav floated back down the peloton quite early. Must've decided early it wasn't for him
    Bianchi. There are no alternatives only compromises!
