    Someone at Sky Towers will be working late tonight removing all traces of this photo from t'interweb. Insiders tell me that Sky will be unveiling there 'one kit change a year' at le Tour. Blue to green stripe - not this time. Something much more noticeable; inside info from the adidas factory hint at purple/ orange/yellow combo - so I can only guess that this is Cav's new team bike

    Blimey, it's another world down there.

    I have never, ever seen such creatures north of the Highland Boundary fault-line.

    Or immediately south of it either, to be honest, and I was in Byres Road the other week.

    We're all like that down south.

    Actually I'm in California at the moment and those characters would fit right in here.

    Oh the bike decor's not that far off a tartan – put in a few horizontal lines and there it is. Admittedly it'd be a pretty vile one in purple, pink, orange and yellow...

    Just a meandering thought, but IF Endura were ever to gain a GT spot, they could so much with tartan.

    Our own national team.


    Sigh.

    That'll just be a 'Buckie Party', then?

    Don't worry - I'll get me coat...

    Aww - Tusher's back! Yay! Thought you'd gone for ever... or, worse, gone over to 'Cake stop' *bleugh*

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    But no one visits Pro Race for the racing... all the fun is during the off season. Welcome back Tusher - pop round for a cup of lady grey and a fondent fancy when you've got the time.

    Thank you, thank you a thousand thank yous I was trying to figure out who that pic of Cav reminded me of. Truly one of the best characters from one of the best films of all time containing the immortal lines: "I WANT my bike. I WANT my BIKE. I WANT MY BIKE!" I felt that girls pain. I was that girl.

    If that's a recent pic he really does seem to have lost weight and it emphasises how large his head is in comparison to his body even more!

    Hope it's just the camera angle, tho' buttoned-up shirt AND cardigan is not a good look for him

    Prediction: After Cav breaks all records for stage wins, the UCI reduces the maximim legal head to shoulders ratio.
