    When Froome and then Contador went out, he must have been torn. One half thinking, 'damn, people will say I only won it because...' and the other half thinking, 'Yessss, now, where did I leave the Ferrari catalogue?'

    Wonder will he be expected to give some/all of that to his team

    I have to say, I have always liked Nibs but was worried when he went to Astana.
    The question I have is how he has managed to go from no wins all year, and few weeks ago 4 or 5 riders dropping him at will, to being far better than any rider in the tour , in the space of a few weeks? I hope it is genuinely clean, but with all the flak his team management gave him and Vino there, I have my doubts.

    He's not "far better than any rider in The Tour" he's far better than the riders who are left.

    Do you think if Froome and contador were here it would be such an easy ride? He's always been 5 mins faster than the "best of what's left" for a few years now.

    On the subject of nicknames, surely The Lion King needs to be resurrected for Leopold Konig? He has more right to it than Cippo did just because of his stupid haircut!

    ITV always list their playlists on their website. They've only put up the first half of the race so far, but keep an eye out:

    Update: I think it is Caged Bird by Unkle (they used it more than once - it's on that list)
