I'd rather sit in the Gruppetto every mountain stage, have to endure press conferences and talk about doping, be pushed off my bike at 70kmph or fall into hawthron bushes than have to deal with this forum during 3 weeks in July ... It's f'ing awful ...

Hell, I'd rather be Ted King ...

    You think you've got it tough what about the cycling WAGs:

    Michael Rogers ‏@mickrogers 11 Jul

    RT @millarmind: People tend to forget about our better halves, they do their own Tour de France, year round.

    Amen brother!

    You're not wrong.

    Usually it's only commuter chat or the 'cake stoppers' that's a moderating ballache but this Tour has taken it to new levels.

    Christ - it's like a circus here.

    Ban any reference to doping and there'd be a 90% drop in posting.

    Last year we only speculated whether Wiggo would end up an alkie, mild in comparison.

    If you think people were mild with Wiggo you were lurking on a different forum. It was the whole team doping last year, the evidence was they had a mountain train just like USPS. UKPS was bandied around at every opportunity.

    2009 comeback year was madness.... entertaining thou

    the difference here is the whole thing in comparison is like DIY teeth extraction and fewer jokes

    I want more jokes
