    I thought they all left en bloc once Guittierez crashed out and was no longer around to drive the bunch on everytime there was a pile up.

    I'm finding the new Post Office mailing rates confusing: is it cheaper to send one big one or lots of little ones?

    In my mind I envisage reaching Valverde with one of those giant Galaxy transporter planes with the sliding trolley system at the rear firing out a massive parachuted bundle, like in those relief missions. But it's bit hit and miss.

    Plus, I am but one man.

    Must be Frenchie asking why he hasn't hoovered up the wins since his return, as he predicted.

    Did you watch early season? He cam 3rd in Paris Nice to name one.

    Then he had a very bad crash that took him out.

    Still, not as superb as I was expecting but doing well.

    He has 4 wins this year. Maybe you just watch the Tour.

    I watch all the cycling I can get on my tele box, other than this years tour of poland. So sadly I didn't to watch his tear up the TdU :wink:

    Sadly I dont have the memory I used to so I can't remember who wins every race, I just get the idea of how people are going. This year, Valverde seemed to be going well at the start of the season when the big boys weren't out to play, now they are he's been shown as a(nother) has-been baldy doper. Good.
