    Ned's got stiff competition from Tuft, it could be a tough one.

    Quintana attacks already, front group in disarray as Froome has to chase!

    please please be a good spoilers thread today. I am sat in maternity assessment waiting room surrounded by hunners of short tempered, over heated, expectant, Glaswegian wimmen, their mothers, their weans and bloody Radio Clyde 2 playing Charles & Eddie's classic "Look into my eyes"

    entertain me and inform me please please please.


    I think it was you who asked if the bends 21 and 19 on the Alpe were still named after Armstrong. I can confirm that they are. I took a look on the way down in the car last week. I didn't have much chance on the way up. If I had stopped then I wouldn't have got much further.

    If it wasn't you who asked no worries.

    Hope all is well in maternity.


    not me, but nice (sad) to know. were you there for Marmotte?

    Yes. 2 hours up the Alpe, but still got a silver for age group!

    First time I did the Marmotte I found a soreen malt loaf about 2/3s of the way up. Unopened. I have never been more grateful.

    What the bloody hell is Froome playing at? He can't possibly cover every Saxo domestique, plus Quintana, plus Contador and Kreuziger?

    Bugger, got to go and get little one from nursery, who will no doubt be demanding Peppa Pig upon her return. I'll just shove her in the paddling pool with a lolly or something.

    Now that's parenting!

    I'd love to be in a paddling pool with a lolly right now, while watching the stage.
