I don't get the opportunity to see it much at all these days - in the past my holidays would coincide with key mountain stages & I'd watch it all day. Highlights are on soon, so I will be watching that tonight.

Bradley may be down to 6th, but I would expect him to make up 1 - 1:30 tomorrow, which may put him 4th - can't see him getting past Armstrong & Andy Schleck may be too far in front.

Key stage will be Saturday and the trek up Ventoux - could be some big changes then as it is the last chance for positions to change. Also, riders can give their all knowing that the last stage on Sunday is just the waltz around Paris.

Contador still to win for me - I'll be patriotic & go for 3rd with Wiggins (which would be the highest place British finsh) - hopefully he'll attack on Saturday.

Happy viewing.

Yep, I remember that one. Crammed full fo apparently crappy hifi gear!

Funny as article here on Lance's terrible Damien Hurst designed "Real dead butterfly" bike he rode into Paris. Not great for a man who's foundation tries to preserve life. uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/27072009/ ... erfly.html

rlThought it was too good to be truerl

Meanwhile Wiggo has released his test results for public scrutiny.

Still compared to recent years having only 2 positive drugs test (so far) that have been related to the tour is pretty good. (The first one taking place just before the tour with Dekker)
Also none of them major players.
Cycling has a problem, it always has, but it is trying to handle it instead of just turning a blind eye and hoping that it goes away like some sports.
