    Did that fool Kirby just thank Yates' parents for procreating?

    Just before he said that Yates looks like he's borrowed his cousin's bike.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    So the official live site does actually have split times, it's just the links to them are near invisible on some screens.
    They're in a horizontal line to the right of "General". They're pink if you mouseover.
    Absolutely shocking design.

    Tom starting to look a bit twitchy on the bike now. The team have obviously given him the negative time split.

    Thanks, I'd missed TD's split and hadn't realised he was so far behind Dennis.

    So few do look good on TT bikes. Dumoulin just looks right so that is the standard we judge by. He may not win but in the cool/stylish rankings he could be #1

    the thing i keep forgetting is that the TT you can look slow but be going fast and vice versa

    pozzos diaphragm seems to be obstructed by straight legs or summit.

    His bandy legs are not very aero. :P

    I wonder how many sh*ts and totally f*ucked will be in Tom's post stage interview?
