    Exactly. There's only the double Alpe stage left with any obvious valley/descent attacking terrain.

    Would love to see Thibaud Pinot Noir-horsing it to a storming Bastille Day victoire.

    Forum Ventoux leaderboard?

    I did 1:12 on a 39x23 in 2002. It was rubbish.

    Hi chaps, does anyone know of a feed please? Google has failed me!

    Try http://www.tvguide.co.uk and click on ITV4 - once they've got live coverage.


    Thanks, am at home, just fancied watching the whole stage as it's my only chance. There appears to be a few moody feeds out there but they've all been closed down :evil:

    Just checked and this one works:

    http://www.sportlemon.tv/20130627/vv51cb6fd857cce6.46027618-598971.html

    Coverage has only just started on Eurosport.

    Ta very much, great to have a choice for those badly timed ad breaks. Forgot about the trivia overload whilst watching live :roll:
    That is a handsome cow.

    I was going to try it this year but some idiot drove in to my car and did my back in so training never happened. Going to try again for next year 1:12 isn't a bad time is it?

    1 hour 12? That's fast! :shock:

    Exciting contest for the intermediate sprint points there. Can't understand why no one commented on it.

    Loved Chavanel tracking Sagan through the intermediate. He didn't contest it, but it didn't stop him getting on Sagan's wheel and making Sagan a tad worried!

    It was when I was young and fit! A restauranteur in bedoin gave me a free pasta after looking at my computer.

    Virenque has stacked some timber on eh?

    As would I, had a cheeky few quid on him (50-1) and Tommy V (40-1) to win today.

    Youre asking the wrong guy... It could have been crazy fast with the with the taily, but I bottled it

    Nah. In about an hour I reckon the Tour is over GC wise. Nothing really has suggested that he shouldn't just drop them all.

    But 1.12, that's like grupetto fast! What was the wind like? It was so windy when I did it. 1.45 for me, it was the wind that did for me. I can happily spin away at a steady pace all day, but the wind, good god I wanted to cry!

    And yes Virenque is looking beefy.

    Oh my goodness a lesser spotted Lopez on the front! :shock:

    Remember last time he did that? Garmin, Movistar, and Saxo taught Sky a lesson the day after and he was incredibly lucky to not lose any time!

    There were no strava in mah day! Started my timer on the banked corner about 500m outside Bedoin, as I recall

    Also, it was all the riding I did that day. Not that great.
