    Wiggo mechanical but will be back on in no time

    Edit: was a bike change but not sure what the issue was
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    It's not half as exciting* as the 'vaart' in the name suggests. :D

    Had a nice ride down the coast, them back up to Delft. Somehow managed to have a tailwind for nearly 2/3rds of the ride. Came back and boshed a rather nice plate of pasta, now lying on the sofa in the sun with t cat.

    Praise Jebus!!

    Crashtastic today....

    What the monkey's just happened there?

    I had a quick shifty over my shoulder and thought they were replaying scenes of today's start.

    Give or take a minute... :twisted:

    If it looks like they are struggling to get back it might just tempt some teams to make them work hard.

    Crashtastic today....

    Nice. I went round Haarlemmer Polder this morning which is great if you get a southerly because then you get a tailwind for about 2/3 too if you go around it the right way.

    I have the day off tomorrow again (well not off, my office is closed). Where to go...? Prasie Jebus indeed!

    Well this crash has livened things up a bit. Who's where and what? I might have to shift to the sofa.

    He went back for a bike change, then got caught up behind the crash

    Wiggins seems to be badly placed a lot in this first week. Is it bad luck or bad riding?

    Hopefully no one was hurt but this sure did something to a remarkably boring stage.

    I think previously bad riding but today looks like bad luck.
