    He's the Franco Baresi to the team leader's Marco van Basten.

    He's the who to the team leader's who? :?:
    The unglamorous calm centre of quiet authority to the team leader's glory-seeking and fame-attaining star :)

    Gap out to almost 6 minutes, much more and Talansky will be closing in on White - might prompt OPQS/Movi to do the donkey work instead of Sky?

    Roger that! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to be annoyed by this advert. I thought Dassault made fighter planes, I don't know what the hell they think they are doing towing icebergs around the bloody place. Fook off.

    DD.

    I HATE that advert and why are they advertising on Eurosport?

    Xavi to the the Leader's Messi, if you like.

    Lichtblick doesn't like football so soccer metaphors don't work

    Road Captain has the brains, Team Leader has the legs.

    Right, the resident football supporter says you're trying to tell me that of those pairs of names, one is the captain and the other the star player.

    Live Ashes Cricket in HD on YouTube - UCI/ASO/RCS etc could learn a lot from this. Compare it to the crappy feed I'm watching the cycling on!

    Hard to choose from such a big group but I'm going to let my heart rule and go for Millar.

    There's only 17.5km to go, so I suppose we'd better get back to the race.

    Just seen a spectator waving a huge pink plastic penis. The camera shied away, startled. Can't show people THAT!

    Talansky has been sat at the back of that for the last 5 minutes!

    Not building the town, that would be cheaper. And who builds a town somewhere with no natural water supply? My inner geographer is irked. :x
