    Alright, alright, what's offended your slightly OCD tendencies?

    OCD tendencies - good grief.

    I've just been taking a work break to sort out my inner tube draw. Some tubes hadn't been tied up with string product and others looked like they been returned to the draw with punctures :shock: :shock: :shock:

    Anyway I have noticed rambling extraneous comments on the Stage 18 thread of the TDF - :shock: :roll: :shock: :roll: :shock:. Surely it's not beyond people to structure their comments if you need to comment on stage 18 - surely go back to stages 1-17 first to ensure they appear in chronological order on the board. Is that too much to ask...

    It's the when 'times shift around'. I guess you can see the problem...

    ^^ Jens has got seven kids now. I feel a more appropriate catchphrase would be 'shut up penis'.

    What are the odds on this being just as awful as every of the other american races?

    Sky have a nice mix of old and new names. I hope Joshua Edmondson puts in a good showing, will be a good test of his climbing and to see where is development is at. Same for Joe Dom-Bro

    Oh I don't know, the Colombian races are quite tricky.

    The altitude's going to be tricky for Josh, especially in the early days, as it is for all the team except the US guys who've been out there longer. Not sure why Sky didnt get everyone out even just a few days earlier tbh.

    So I'm back from my hols (having missed the Eneco Tour :( ) and am ready from some high altitude, wide road tedium.

    As for Jens Voight and his reproductive capacity, he's got enough for a family production of the Sound of Music now...

    Maybe "shut up legs" is an instruction to his wife...

    OK so we have no graphics on the coverage, three man break of Craig Lewis, Matt Cook and Ian Burnett up the road (don't ask me how far, there are no time gaps).

    Tracker down.
    As a result, it makes the Tour of Poland look like information overkill.
    I'd guess there's about 60kms or so left.

    I think so re. 60kms left. They're on the 2nd lap and its 98km in total.

    50k remaining. Same three up the road. No idea about time gaps.

    All these wide roads without corners and wide views without buildings are a bit of a shock to the system after a week of racing in Belgium and Holland :|

    Not to mention the yellow lines. They really mess with your mind.

    Chris Froome dropped! He's finished.

    Damn, beaten to it.

    Does anybody know what the last few KMs are like, who's tipped for the win?

    Flatish, rolling. If Sagan stays where he is, the stage is his.

    No organised chase from the peloton yet, nice move by Sagan.
