    My stream died :( Anyone know where I can watch it? I'm UK based but IP address goes through Germany so no ITV4 or Virgin TV Anywhere... stopstream ones have been 'banned' (which I was watching earlier) and I can't find one anywhere else :(:(:(

    no ITV4?

    Roche and Paulinho dropping back to 6.5 mins from the breakaway, peloton closing in on them. Del;iberate or just knackered?

    In the past people used spoiler threads to check what happened during the race. This year they have been rendered borderline useless.

    Girls don't cry. Girls are stoic. As impassive as Quintana.

    that is pretty impassive. you must be nails!

    admittedly I was passed by a girl too... she wasnt crying though... she just probably weighed 43kg :D

    Greipel picks up the intermediate sprint points, Sagan seems to get annoyed at leadout man or something?

    Bertie to attack 2km from top of Alpe first time up and use teammates on the descent.

    EDIT: and valley obviously.

    It's not your forum. People clearly want different thing from them than you do.

    BTW... there is a hotel by that roundabout they just passed... Great place to base yourself for a few days. Run by a British family.

    Sagans leadouts have been rubbish generally.

    Lol! I'm originally from Taworth as well, Glacote Heath to be more specific. I'll have to start shouting for Martin, I thought he was a proper 021'er
    I lived in Stoneydelph and went to Belgrave (Dan Martin apparently went to St Gabriel's primary school in Belgrave). The Herald coverage is fantastic. They basically take any pro cycling article and put the smallest possible effort in to rewriting it so it's about "the Tamworth Herald Sportsman of the Year 2012 Dan Martin".

    Sign up to Eurosport player?

    I'm at work so no TV... but if you meant their website it won't work because it thinks I am in Germany.. same for TV Catchup which is a site you can stream all the Freeview channels.

    Nap; will Eurosport player work thinking that I am in Germany? (Only interested if it's British Eurosport.. I don't speak enough German to have German Eurosport commentary)

    no no ... not related or connected at all.. just had a good time there. Rooms are basic and tiny, but perfect for nutters who think the idea of cycling up all these climbs is fun. You can do Croix de fer/Glandon/Telegraph/Galibier/Lautaret/Ornon/2 Alps all from there...

    Got to cyclingfans or steephill loads of links on there.
