    Perhaps if I complete 5 cells on this spreadsheet per ITV advert I might just get it completed before the Tour is over.

    ... did Argos just get an average speed of 28kph at the finish? I'm guessing that's not right :P

    it did flash that up as they crossed the line, but I think OPQS managed 56kph and were 2 mins quicker..

    Just seen the new Skoda TdF ad on Eurosport - quite like a company that's prepared to show their cars getting beat up as part of an ad campaign!

    Quite a decent stat from a PR perspective (no breakdowns in 10 years) if that's accurate

    Who will be in yellow if OPQS win? The whipersnapper Pole?

    He's riding a standard road bike apparently as TT bike too painful.

    I'm fairly sure mine was never read. I got a first, which is why I'm sure.

    Bookies making Garmin favorites right now. OPQS drifting despite that time.

    Commentator just said they time from 'the 5th wheel over the line'. Surely it's the 5th bike?

    That's what he means... "5th wheel" = "5th person in the line"

    No that cant be right, Paul said it was 59kph average, "which is over 40mph".
