Yea from "Micheal in Ireland" talking about Sean in his gear and Harmon has just tweeted the link.

Boards getting mentioned in the most important day of the Tour. Only right too..

How does Schlek rate as a time trialist compared to Bert? I suppose I am trying to calculate how much time he would need to gain today in order to have a cushion in the TT. Anyone care to estimate?

Can't believe it. In work here just now: 'Rescheduled team meeting 15:00-15:30, training meeting 15:30-16:30'. Somebody hates cycling, I know it.

Hungrycol

hee hee Sanchez and Schleck are already winners accoring to the eurosport graphic

Cape Clear

My God it has to be the Connor Pass! it can't be France. Climbed the Connor pass from the Tralee side on Easter Saturday in similar conditions but probably not as cold.

Talk of triples on Eurosport. Booo!

You can subscribe to the Eurosport viewer online. Costs €4 per month and can be viewed in Ireland. Top quality streaming too.

I needed a triple to get up the Tourmalet. But that could be due to spending some time in the patisierre in the village at the bottom. Christ they had gorgeous strawberry mille fuille.

Ah, but you just buy it for a month -there's not forced subscription or anything... 4 quid to stream the tour? bargain!

You can pay for one month on its own.
