    I'm there now. Watching through a Sagemcom digital box (French) that takes ages to warm up.
    Gallic shrug. :(

    I wish Gilbert was wearing something similar to this helmet design:

    SItting in the Peloton doing sod all doesn't really require the aero advantage of a Tuff Top, though.

    Since you apparently have such a problem with the intent of your post being misinterpreted, why didn't you write something along with the photo to make things clear? Everyone knows your opinions on Sky/Froome/SRMs, you never give that a rest. So IF you actually did intend to highlight Froome's riding style rather than his attraction to his SRM (which I doubt) you only have yourself to blame for everyone misunderstanding you.

    Back down when you are losing. Continue at your peril. Life lesson; better you learn it now then portray this less than admirable attitude in the real World.

    I for one am scared.
    I am quaking in my shoes. Nothing like being told to "act like a man" by an anonymous stranger on the internet :roll:

    Anyway I'll stop cluttering up this thread now, apologies to everyone else.

    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.

    This is not admissable evidence.

    What is Gilbert doing this season? There doesn't seem to be much for him in this tour even if he was in form.

    Just tell him you know what he gets up to out of hours. He's IT, he's bound to have some secrets.

    Not much use if he's standing behind me when I accidently maximise the flipping window!
