I've just seen the new Italian champs jersey. It's a shocker.

You're not wrong.

Were the whole of OPQS wearing Converse?

Poor Greg, leave him alone he can't help his weight, he's just big boned and likes pies.

Hey, I love Greg, but I just dipped below 80kg for the first time in a couple of years, so he's fair game!

Even Pozzato's moscow skyline effort was better.

Did we miss Belkin and NetApp?

This presentation is enough to sort out Pinot's fear of descending, I bet if you'd held it at the top of a descent and then gave him the choice of having to endure that or escaping down the mountain as fast as he could he'd choose escape.

Give me more

Probably even more than that.

It's only because I originally wrote that he hadn't shrunk around the waist rather than him being a sloucher but then deleted it. I see everyone went with the 'chubby' thing.

I'm a big boned pie-loving sloucher as well. I could slouch for Britain.

I was going to watch it on ITV4. Think I'll go and sunbathe in the garden instead.

See, I said there should be **SPOILERS** in the title.

Lars Boom - nil point this season. Will he do anything at all this year?

I came to that conclusion just from this thread! And the memory of leaving the presentation in Trafalgar Sq in 2007 as anything else would have been more interesting.

Whoever came up with that should be jailed.

9 minutes in and already a tv advert on ITV4. It begins.

Ugh, wonder which annoying sponsor ads will air during the Tour this year.

Downward

Great reception from the crowd there for Froome !!

Great stuff from eurosport - Cutting from the awful song to Interviewing Talansky

Turfle

I didn't know there was an official song. I've been missing out.

Do you remember the Tyler Farrar Transitions ad from a few years ago? It aired on Eurosport approximately every 30 seconds.
Here's a little reminder (share my pain):

The most impressive thing was they had managed to find some footage of him winning a race.

Navarro is a looker. Forgot he got 9th last year.

That Ita kit is appalling. Astana just got to show off that awful Kazak blue.

Not through the windshield of a Land Rover is probably a major improvement.

Great thread this. Bodes well.

above_the_cows

Jill decides to interview Cheng Ji first out of the Giant boys. Best thing she's done all evening.

frenchfighter

Whoever this man is he is pretty awful.

Two ad breaks already in itv4 coverage. Not even 25mins in...

Ah, no! My favourite was BOARDMAN. Born on Tour. It always came after Quantum Leap.
