    Why don't they get seatposts with markings on them (on each side) for height and keep them written down for each rider? Wouldn't cost much and would make that saddle height adjustment 'on the go' quicker and more accurate. (or all start using those ones with a twist adjustment the rider can do himself on the pool bikes)

    Not really.

    I'm pumped for it. I'm going to watch the first 5 back-to-back straight after this. Everyone's invited!

    Can we do Police Academy 1-8 next week? :lol:
    Only if we can back it up with Saw 1-7

    I hope we see a GC ding dong rather than a 1km drop off.

    I have never seen Wiggins attack (sub 1km not included). And would LOVE to see him attack. Allez Wiggo.

    I see Cataldo, Xandio, Wiggo & Rigo. Where's Sergio?

    Think him & Andy S (if both on form) would make it a tougher race near the top
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    No sign of Evans in main group?

    Wiggins has been at the back for 15 km now. Strange. He's last man.

    Something tells me that part was a bit more about a magic spanner than actual adjustments.

    Having watched last night's ATOC I don't think he's likely to be in form ever again.

    I'm surprised a lot of you didn't see Henao was dropped. It was quite clear. Did Eurosport show commercials?

    Do you not recall his 190km lone break in the 2007 Tour?

    Do they realise we're back from the commercial break? Hello Sean? Declan? Hello?

    We saw him dropped, but then we saw him and Sanchez among the cavalcade of cars on the descent.

    So, the final climb begins.

    10kms before the gradient gets interesting.

    Weather is clearing at the summit now.

    Shame as both attacking climbers to balance out for the diesel power style of Wiggo & Evans. But can't have everything & hopefully they will both be in the Tour

    My stream must be 2 or 3 minutes behind you lot. Anyhow... Listening to Quigley & Sean at the bottom of the climb was like listening to creature comforts.

    Oh yes. But even you would agree comparing him now to then is not something that is possible.
