    Should be some sort of rule against Arredondo and Pozzovivo being in a break together... Thought my telly had switched to wrong format

    I admit to getting so bored with this I tried to go and figure out what is going on in Ukraine. It's better than buying stuff on Wiggle.

    What is a "real racer"

    One example, Devolder in Tour of Flanders. When you have no legs you'll always find excuses, call it stomach bugs or whatever... I'm pretty much sure your Froomie will find similar excuses during the TdF because he would not take the beating that Contador is going to serve him.

    Can you answer it? Or do you just say phrases that you hear others say|?

    There's quite a big group forming behind the front two which none of the three big names are in. Could be interesting.

    Mr and Mrs Gallopin just before the start. Tony was supposed to be the French secret weapon for the spring classics.

    Scrap that, no one seems to be able to force a decisive move.

    Do they broadcast that in Amsterdam? Or do you watch it on DVD's?

    Says a lot that this is what we're talking about...

    Sorry, it may not be the most clever one, but it's mine phrase.

    If you understand what racing is about you just see it and admire it. You cannot explain it in words unless you write a Holy Book of Cycling. But firstly, you need some knowledge and maybe trying riding a bike/racing yourself.

    That's all OT from me in this thread. Sorry for spoiling it :)

    We have the BBC, but I also have the DVDs and Netflix.
