    Thanks, but I mean on-screen updates.


    Well, maybe the Contador rumours are indeed true.


    Being down on form front, you mean?

    Alberto doesn't have the heart for this.

    Kennaugh off - top 5 a possibility ?

    Doh - just realised what I've done !

    Trying to do a conference call, send emails and look at this simultaneously obviously just to much for the old noggin. Meant Thomas of course.

    Rohan is here based on his Cali perf. Was 3rd in the TT there. 2nd in the Aussie Nationals.
    Contador is the Greatest

    Sky could end up with 3 or 4 riders in the top 10 at this rate (Froome/Thomas/Porte/EBH)

    Contador doesn't seem to be the rider he was in 2009 and '10. His time trialling especially. #Dauphiné

    Simon Richardson ‏@SRichardsonCW 4m
    @richardmoore73 He now time trials how a little Spanish climber should.


    difficult to argue with that

    How should a skinny British climber TT then?

    Surprisingly slow from VDB. Was hoping he'd be top 15ish.

    I know its unbelieveable how they get the whole team so much better than everyone else isnt it! that training must awsome in the canaries. Also i need to get a Pinarello

    Alberto 1"40 odd down on Froome at 2nd check. Disaster for TdF.

    Froome looks so laboured on the bike. Is his cadence much slower than last year?

    Lack of meaningful on-screen graphics on the pirate stream I'm 'forced' to watch is driving me nuts. Can't be that tricky.

    The person who told me Martin had the trots will live with the credibility deficit for all time.

    Cadence looks much, much slower to my untrained eye.
