    Froome goggle update: White jawbones. Affirmative. 8)

    Why does anyone wear Jawbones? they look like sunglasses for 7 year old boys who like the Power Rangers.

    And in White?? Minging. losing respect for Froome.

    I love my black jawbones. Also use them when skiing as they never mist up.

    The history of cycling sunglasses is the definition of minging.

    Gerrans is in the front group. Tempting on Betfair.

    Has Gautier got an uglier biking face than TV Tommy?

    Go Bakelants.

    I am sure you are a lovely bloke and this doesn't say anything about you and lots about my petty prejudices but whenever i see someone in them i just think "wazzock". sorry about that :oops:

    Froome looks daft.

    It's like when i saw that Contador advert for Sidi, the one where he is wearing a leather jacket while strutting around the place like he was in Miami Vice. From that point on I wanted him to LOSE SO BAD.

    I think Froome needs to bring these back into style.

    I think Prudhomme has done a cracking job with the parcours for this stage. Prior to the start lots previews were saying that the hills were nothing to worry about and that the finish would be a bunch. However it seems that there is just enough steepness on the climbs to make things interesting. The will they / wont they re the sprinters getting back on makes today far more interesting than yesterday.

    Carlton - shut up I'm hungry and you describing your ducks hearts is killing me.

    The Bakelants move not good news for the sprinters as it ought to encourage OGE to lend Canondale a hand.

    but, "wazzock" which decade are you stuck in?

    Froogle. Not to be confused with a Fraggle:

    I rather like wazzock as an insult - just the right level of rudeness without being aggressive.

    Just had a Skybet junkmail headed 'Will Andy Win?'
    Took me a while to realise they weren't talking about cycling.

    Going to be an interesting end.

    Scenario 1- sprinters group gets back, but trains are knackered, messy bunch gallop

    Scenario 2- sprinters don't make it back but Cannondale are too knackered and a team like OGE working or even Sky putting a dig in for EBH

    Tense

    Ps. Is that rob hayles ior Cipo in the clip on specs?

    He's only 46" down on GC.. will probably lose a shed load tomorrow -> but that's obviously part of his master plan to win a mountain top finish from a break.

    Is Phil Liggett unable to utter the word 'doper' or acknowledge what riders who have been caught and sanctioned have actually done to our sport (LA in particular)?? Instead, he tries to talk around the subject of Frank Schleck's doping ban by describing it as a "dietary drug situation"!

    ITV, I'm switching to mute.

    I think might be a dull procession for Sagan, in the end.

    First time I've paid attention to the Tour of Poland ad this year.

    FFS - it's starting in Italy!!!

    What next? Tour of Britain starts in Gibraltar? British RR Champs take place on Alpe D'huez?

    I can understand teh GTs going for a wander but a week long 2nd tier race is taking the piss.
