    Hell yeah we do!

    The Pre Race chat thread should be allowed to die.

    It's been renamed, and I don't think we do. But whatever the majority want I suppose :P

    It's traditional to have one for each stage. If we didn't what would happen to Iain's pie charts?

    JF Bernard saying in L'equipe that Contador very popular in peloton (that's not new, he has been for a long time) but Sky still not rocking many friends.

    Hopefully that can create some more intrigue.

    Bonifacio looks a bit nice!

    Surely we need a separate thread for each stage otherwise the one thread would be huge and it would be hard to find information if you'd missed a stage etc.

    Oh, and Corsica is beautiful! OMG! Might have to consider going there on holiday - looks stunning.

    Did any of you see the interview with TJVG? Very interesting. It's clear he's pretty much going to do his own thing if the old man can't keep up.

    Has Imlach had a head injury since last year?

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    That was a decent little sprint for the KOM jersey. Nice to see Euskatel get something out of the Tour so early.

    My thoughts entirely - anybody know where David Harmon is? I'll be gutted if he's not returning in next 3 weeks..

    Harmon is not doing the Tour.

    I'm no expert on the old days, but these Eurosport translation voice-overs must be in homage to dubious dubbed foreign features from the '70s.

    He's suffering with depression and won't be at the Tour.

    iainf72, what on earth are you doing in this thread? I know it's the first stage, but it's a sprint stage.

    The hay bales say "the 100th" Carlton.

    It's more interesting than watching it on TV :P
