    Shame TJ has been invisible. I was ready with a few bizarre Garderen accident references.

    MegaLOL. My review of his performance would just be two words.


    Can you write that? are they allowed to say that?

    Vacansoleil riders going for the insurance policy of not getting a sponsor next year, by making sure they hoover up as many intermediate bonuses prizes as possible.

    I hope KAZZA didn't get fooled into joining that breakaway, he'll lose a stash o'time in the LR....

    I don't know - do freehubs make a noise (jingling)?

    where is that from? Navarro is 23' down, if the gap remains at 10' (unlikely I know) then he's be in around Monfort/Talansky. He'd be 3rd place Spaniard too.
