    self employed working out of home. Trying to convince myself I've still been a tiny bit productive. I mean, I did send an email or two at one point...

    I make it clear that anyone causing me to miss any significant action during the 3 week period will pay for it over the subsequent weeks.

    Poc are sort of the Rapha of sports protection stuff (helmets, goggles, pads etc...). Good stuff but very expensive and usually with some...erm...unique designs. I think they re sweedish

    I'm in here in spirit, but my mind is in France. I've done next to know work and kicked off if anyone has passed any my way.

    Still on Canadians, Hesjedal is a fool. Why would you want to go solo this far out?

    Because today is the Redonkathon.

    What's Redonkathon?

    According to Millar, its what Hesjedal has been calling this stage for weeks:

    David Millar ‏@millarmind 18h

    So, forget about today, @ryder_hesjedal has been referring to tomorrow's stage 19 as "THE REDONKATHON" since Corsica. That means very hard.

    Two join forces behind Hesjedal
    Rolland has caught and passed Izaguirre and the former leader of the climbing classification now has Hesjedal ahead... The Canadian is 11km from the top of the col de la Madeleine.

    Tuft in a crash: but riding again...
    Svein Tuft has been involved in a big crash but the Canadian is back on his bike after the incident on the descent of the Glandon.

    How's the Glandon?

    Apart from one chute, and Bauer quitting, neither of which we have seen, all is quiet.

    I meant after being hit with Svein Tuft
    Hurt by his mahoosive 74kg bulk? Nah. :roll:

    I meant because of his legendary hardman status

    Nice to see ITV4 are replacing their TdF coverage with some classics, Kojak, then Magnum PI.

    Does no one remember the POC helmet Larsen used in the TT worlds? Looks like an orange Boo ghost from super mario. Or, errrmmm, something else....

    Some team in pink, not seen them before, maybe he just jumped in from the side of the road in his local club kit

    Bauer crashed face first into a barbed wire fence apparently....if true that does not sound good.

    From twitter -

    Paramedics were pulling Bauer off the fence. Thick blood was pouring out of his mouth. He was silent and cradled his head in his hands.
