    According to the Cycling News forum the only possible way to lose weight is to take drugs, so I don't bother. This is why I'm overweight.

    And we have 7 pages already for a TT. Wowzers! :shock:

    The racing did start several hours ago. 7 probably isnt too much considering the lengths other threads have gone on uselsss banter!

    Oh you love it really Frenchie! *bisou*

    Spectator has thrown a bag of urine at Cavendish.
    Not sure if he scored a direct hit.
    heckled, too.

    Probably already been posted, but I can't be bothered to go back pages.

    Speak for yourself chubby, I'm sitting at a svelte 69kg.

    64kgs here, and now fasting for a month so lets assume 60kgs by the end of the month.

    I feel irrationally threatened... How tall?

    I seem to remember the winds being very favourable on the East-West stretch to MSM from Pountaubault, more so in the afternoon than morning, lovely smooth road surfaces too (well 20odd yrs ago..lol) & as a spritely 21yr old I was hitting 50km/h in places when mixing it with some of the locals..
    I think Froome will get very near or even supercede TM, he looks in really fine fettle & obviously will want to gain as much as a buffer over his other GC rivals.

    Im 69kg but also quite short. Could probably get down to around 60-62kg's if I could be arsed. But I cant. I'd still be just as sh*t at riding my bike.

    Really? If I was 6ft I wouldn't be happy until I was at least 73kg. I dont really like the beanpole look.

    You've not read the CN forum, have you? Such ideas are fanboi spin.

    Happily. Before you know it you can be a mediocre time triallist and half decent crosser too.

    Indeed we are. We need a conservative innings from Pietersen here. None of the reverse sweep nonsense.

    Hi ddraver
    I was out training in Crete during the ICC.
    Using the app Tunein Radio, I found that RADIO 5 Extra was blocked for licencing reasons but... RADIO 4 Long Wave worked!
    It must be a mistake, but I was well happy.
    Hope this helps
