    I named two possibilities. Alt accounts are so gay though - they really should be banned. Have the balls to say what you mean or STFU IMHO.

    Remember seeing a great interview with Status Quo where they remembered having a typical homophobic attitude re. gayness (weak, timid etc).

    Then they met Freddie Mercury* at Live Aid and he re-educated them. :lol:

    Agreed. A Tactical Nuclear Troll if ever there was one.

    Meanwhile back at the racing I'm predicting a blistering finish and a huge pile up. I do worry some Olympic dreams will turn to dust in this TdF.

    You can tell it's daytime TV - how many ambulance chasing adverts can ITV4 show? Shame the internet stream doesn't edit them out.

    I'm sure there will be some Olympic dreams dashed in the next week.

    Did they mention the tried and tested "1 minute per 10km" rule (that is about as accurate as the max HR formula)?

    I get the feeling that in the absence of the fast riding lead out of HTC, the front end could end up in a right mess. Into the last 20k and the Peleton is bunched.

    The prospect of this finish would give me "tummy trouble". Dr Paul is diagnosing nerves (like he's never been in a pro bike race before?)
