    I've added a map to the OP, but can't find the finish map. FF usually uploads those, I'm sure he'll be along shortly.

    Something I noticed yesterday in sundays highlights, Froome wearing Radars again!

    Do they not do Yellow Jawbones?

    LMAO! Looks like Marcel has found the future Mrs Kittel! :mrgreen:

    She is very pretty, she was the Green Jersey podium girl last year as well IIRC.

    I knew when I was watching the stage that one total arsewipe would freeze the frame, cut out the rest of the bike and say Froome was looking at his SRM when he clearly has his head down (if anything he was looking at the back wheel)

    Enter Frenchie...

    ITV4 coverage starts at 2pm - damn, that's 3pm here in France. Might as well get some work done now before I settle down to watch. Too warm for a ride this morning, so it'll have to be later.

    Everytime someone quotes this dunce I receive confirmation that I made the right decision blocking him near on 6 month ago. Total waste of space on this forum! Most intelligent people improve as time goes buy but sadly that doesn`t occur in all humans!

    Why's he holding a mini Cav? Surely that's got to put a dampner on things? :wink:

    The Armorican Massif (French: Massif armoricain) is a geologic massif that covers a large area in the northwest of France, including Brittany, the western part of Normandy and the Pays de la Loire. Its name comes from the old Armorica, a Gaul area between the Loire and the Seine rivers.

    The massif is composed of metamorphic and magmatic rocks that were metamorphosed and/or deformed during the Hercynian or Variscan orogeny (400 to 280 million years ago) and the earlier Cadomian orogeny (650 to 550 million years ago (ddraver says - which occurred during the formation of Gondwana. Gondwana was one of two super continents formed when all the continents were together - Think Pangea but earlier ).

    The region was uplifted when the Bay of Biscay opened during the Cretaceous period (ddraver says - similar to the opening of the Atlantic, but thie Bay of Biscay never made it. The Cantabrian Mountains and the Armorican Massif were then rift shoulders of the Bay of Biscay.

    792px-Geologic_map_Armorican_Massif_EN.svg.png

    During the Neoproterozoic (ddraver says - 2.5 Billion years ago - rocks rarely get much older), older parts of the Armorican Massif formed the northern margin of the paleocontinent Gondwana.

    Armorica rifted off the northern margin of Gondwana somewhere during the Ordovician or Silurian periods to move northward and collide with Laurussia (ddraver says -the other super continent)during the Hercynian orogeny.

    The oldest rocks of the massif are Neoproterozoic sediments of the Brioverian Supergroup which were deformed and metamorphosed during the Cadomian orogeny. These are overlain by lower Paleozoic (Cambrian to Devonian) (meta-)sediments. The whole sequence was deformed, metamorphosed and intruded by felsic magmas during the Hercynian orogeny.

    Late Hercynian granitoid bodies were intruded along the South Armorican Shear Zone. St Malo is the cenre of one of these and has some well displayed Migmatites - metamorphic rocks which have partially melted and the resolidified

    646px-Migmatite_2005.jpg

    ddraver says - - Think the formations of Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor and Exmoor, plus the emplacement of the Cornish Tin deposits. Most of this has been 100% stolen from the Wiki page which has more detail (and very technical it is too!) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorican_Massif

    The whole area is actually mighty complex which is waht gives Brittany it's variation and (IMO) beauty!

    How would you know if I'm blocked? Or are you smarting because I ve caught you out? The massive irony of this is that you re always re-posting things that I posted 6 hours earlier because your ego is so pathetically small that you can't bear to read anything that might disagree with your world view. Hence the utter capitulation over the last few days when you ve got no block button to hight the fact that Sky are creaming your boy

    (Where are you with your peacekeeping now MR?) Edit - I was wrong, and I prostrate myself before MR and beg his forgiveness!

    Call him what you want but he's obviously right about what you posted. I guess you know that and that's why it provoked one of your usual "classy" responses.

    I hope there'll be some cycling on soon.

    In light hearted news, my repairs on a fooked wheel have been performed by the LBS for the total of £10 because I am "a legend"
