    They look great.

    I seriously hope you & MrTapir don't race. You'd be lethal in a bunch with eyesight that poor.... ;-)

    Touchè :D

    Road narrows soon, with high kerbs and stuff either side, so I've heard.
    Going to get very dodgy.

    It would be a whole lot easier and safer if the team leaders all rode at the front without their entourages.

    Where's Froome?

    Damn no splits. I was hoping for a split with Froome on the wrong side of it. :twisted:
    Ha. You, me and Contador.

    Fair play to Saxo for giving it a go on the first stage though.

    I fear there may be tears before bedtime people. Sadly we don't have Farrar this year because he'd be a nailed on cert for kissing the tarmac.

    Carlton saidit was "three and a half paces wide" which is what, 4 metres? Standard width for a new single carriageway Road is 7.3m in this country so that is well skinny if it's true.

    At that point they might as well form a GC contender breakaway :)

    Where does this idea that OGC can boss a sprint come from?

    Dunno, I'm getting my info from "Clean" Rolf Sørensen :-D

    He was talking about it being narrow with a high kerb one side and some concrete stuff the other.

    People bow for me when I'm cruising on my light blue bike in the streets of Vesterbro.

    The same place as Matt Goss is a contender.

    OMG a flying rib! Awesome.

    I think both our infos complement each other.

    Vesterbro is full of hipsters who think you've won the irony war.

    Coach stuck under a bridge. Possible neutralization. :shock:

    OGE bus apparently. They know Goss doesn't stand a chance then. :wink:

    Edit-in other news the Orica helmets are ugly.

    Millar right at the front, for some reason.

    Cunning strategy from orica.... Block the stage

    Hoogerland should join Rabobank with his affinity for furniture.

    At least no barbed wire this time.
