    Do you not have kmph also listed on your speedo? Serious question as I've only ever driven cars that have both listed. Totally off topic but I have a nerdy fascination with this sort of stuff. I could tell you all about how various countries' car registration systems work if you've got the time... :oops: :D

    kph - mph
    50 - 30
    60 - 40
    100 - 60
    110 - 70
    130 - 80

    Close enough...

    GreenEdge & Shim working to get this gap down currently at 4"45 with 51Kms to go, still river like at the finish line
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    2 min gap 30km to go. This could be back together before the climb. Opportunity for attacks to lose some of the sprinters?

    Today's award for Little Trooper goes to Cataldo, who apparently was recommended by team doc to leave the race cos of poorliness but insisted on staying on to help Wiggo

    SO DONT LET HIM DOWN, BRAD

    Can see it getting back together before the penultimate climb and someone attacking up it/just before it or possibly on the descent, question is will it be a top rider going for it, any predictions?

    Looks like the finish is getting much better but still plenty of water around.

    Good call both capable of it & whilst the others might not let them go could make it hard for some riders

    Cipollini has won here and 10 years ago with the same run Robbie McEwen won.
    oops he was disqualified.

    Wiggo was right at the back at the start of this climb. Just spun up to the front, but seemed odd.

    Look out for Evans in the red jersey (I know this will be similar to the standard BMC) as he is second to Paulini in terms of points but he has the overall as well.

    think Wiggo was covering Ryder who is right up the front
