    BMC pipped SKY. Bookwalter keeps yellow.

    Lack of punctuation and capitals also something attributed to youngsters.

    You seem to have reverted to childhood these morning from the state of all your posts. Has something happened?

    I just watched the last 30 mins of a hard fought TTT battle. I saw a diverting unplanned tactic by IAM in putting riders both sides of the highway, I saw a well-drilled Sky team put 5 secs into OPQS. I saw a BMC team ride an extremely impressive race with Phinney doing massive and impressive long pulls on the front, and a BMC team thoroughly deserving of the win.

    The question is, Frenchie, what did you see apart from a rather immature na-na-na at Sky being beaten?

    They have to use standard road bikes over there don't they to save on costs? That's been the case in passed years in any case.

    I'm glad you watched it accurately this time. A few more posts with info like this would do just nicely.

    I do like a nice TTT, but that was a little short for my liking.

    Cobbles teams all looking strong early season.

    Oh yes.

    You two continue to try and team up. You are coming no where close doing it solo.

    Twitter folk no doubt.

    You make it up as you go along...

    Think I'm done interacting with you two, both are just a waste of my time and don't provide me with any useful information or interesting discussion. I left the school playground a long time ago - I'll let you fire off your 50 posts a day to each other.

    I think they ban them in Qatar. Something about allowing the smaller teams without massive budgest for TT setups for every rider to compete on a level playing field.

    It was so windy out there today - struggled to hold 30 kph into the wind - but wild going the other way at 60+ - Cav was in a bad mood at the finish - shouting "its the helmets, those helmets are worth 6 seconds" when Sky came home - made me look sad in the Prevail !
