    Riblon seems a cool character but it's a wonder he didn't lose it with the twat with the flag

    Not seen the last hour due to annoying but unavoidable commitments. Looks like I've missed nothing much though.

    If anyones ridden it - what temps are they riding in at the mo?

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Someone's going to get knocked off, not sure how the peloton is going get brought if it doesn't get significantly thinned out. Was always going to be a bad mistake, the Alpe is full of nutters at the best of times.

    What is it Carlton wants to ban? Sticks, cameras, tape?

    Good luck with that

    Bourg is 24 C today... so the climb is about the same as there is no direct sun. So, not bad at all... You can see some riders with vests under their jerseys

    The Alpe isn't painful enough for Tommy, he's clipped his mic cable to his nipple just to make it that much harder.

    I thought there were strict figures on % adverts per hour. They're probably packing them in while race is subdued, hopefully fewer during second ascent...
