    Millar has certainly had a fanboi swing in the last couple of months. Maybe getting soft in his old age.

    I'm not sure if wet descents are enough to stop @chrisfroome from winning this TT. I spent much more time climbing than descending!

    Carlton has clearly never considered that riders might be 'taking it easy' today.

    It annoys me they refuse to show the bike changes.

    I can't believe Chris Froome uses those rubbish standard issue tinny ear phones that come as standard with an iPod. That is lacking some serious panache. :shock:

    When they tried to show them earlier they were happening behind a tree. Kelly and Carlton joked about getting out a chainsaw so we could see them on TV

    Oh boy :lol: FF I have to thank you for being a consistent source of comedy in the last few days... dismissing someone else as a "fanboi" shows a truly spectacular lack of self-awareness.

    Am I on FF's 'Foe' list?

    I'd quote it so that he could see it but I suspect I am on his "ignore" list as well :)

    Apparently tomorrow's stage will finish after first d'Huez ascent if there is heavy rain.

    Where did you read that? SKY been lobbying?
    They probably don't want Bertie falling off in front of Froome again.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    ah crap - Geraint Thomas reckons it's starting to dry out. My in play bet on TVG isn't looking quite so safe now

    The times seem to be suggesting it's not having a major impact at the moment - Kloden moved up after the final check point. Valverde held his time between 1 and 2.

    Can somebody direct me to MRs meltdown?

    I'm asking for a friend

    I can't believe the lack of pictures from the decents. So poor.

    Ideally, you want something like this over Chris Froome
