    Watch Contador sliding around on the saddle in a TT and suddenly it doesn't look so stupid.

    A tattoo. Frenchie loves it!

    In fact, I heard Frenchie is in the process of getting his own version done?!

    He's at the tattoo parlor right now. That's why he's gone quiet.

    Porte comes in 3rd. Negative splits for Porte.

    Porte third so far at 1' 21"
    Does this mean he's doped or not? I can't keep up.

    There's an advert for an outfit called Fentons on ITV4 :D Top placement.

    All part of the charm! Nothing more summery than the sound of TMS in the background, nothing more redolent of winter tours than falling asleep at 1am with Aggers providing the cricket-based lullaby:)

    Paul Sherwen's gentle and humane corrections of the biggest Phil howlers are worthy of the Dalai Lama. Impressive.

    Well true, it's funny comparing the vitriol Kirby gets on twitter if he digresses from cycling for 10 seconds and then Blowers going on about the cravatte he's wearing today :)

    Seems about right. I would imagine he needed a good run for a confidence boost.

    Oh and FWIW Frenchie may be wrong on some things but he was completely right about the thread.

    Just making the point that the spoiler threads seem to be an absolute clusterf@ck at the moment. Banter is fine but these threads used to be better than tickers for keeping up with the race.

    Maybe I am just noticing it more as I am on holiday with limited access to the race other than on my phone and some dashes back to my room.
