    Was some ride that, would have been worthy of the overall. Really good edition that. Possibly the last really good one...


    Truly something for everyone in that edition

    Really great cycling in Lux. Great routes where they ripped up the Nazi rail tracks and laid cycle routes instead. The Lux PO sponsors lots of sportives too.

    We just had some weirdly dressed monks by the side of the road. It was no boar man. But interesting nonetheless.

    Also a very interesting story about Tony Martin and the collapse of the GDR.

    Oh Bob.....
    Not my idea (promise!). Most of the people I'm with are not English.

    Never been to one before, it's pretty tame to be honest. Just a sports bar as far as I can tell.

    To be honest a burger sounds like a nice change about now.

    get the player - it's got 8 different feeds. admittedly just watching the view from Moto 5 is a little bit dull.

    And going to Hooters to "watch the Tour de France" is a great excuse - just like those who claim to read Playboy "for the articles". Not gonna fool anyone anytime - and make sure the receipt gets to accounts department rather than ends up with significant other.

    Here as part of my MBA and my boss won't pay my travel expenses so it's all on me...

    Currently with a Saudi, a Russian, a Portuguese, a Spaniard and a Dutchman (and a couple of English people).

    The tour is a nice bonus, the boobage is negligible.

    Why are Sky wearing white shirts instead of their usual Darth Vader colour?

    Business travel on your own account - that's the worst of both worlds. But then at least you get to watch le tour

    Have any teams decided to use disc brakes for a whole team or have the disadvantages outweighed the advantages?

    Cav just took the intermediate - all the main contenders for final sprint used the opportunity to stretch their legs and have a run out

    That last hill must have been tougher than it looked based on the speed displays.

    Lots of sprinters thinking about green jersey points. Seemed to be a lot of peeps contesting the intermediate.

    Especially when half the guys I'm with are either extremely well paid or having their expenses covered.
