    Dan Martin didn't seem to have the legs today, Roche went well, as stage winner Poels, looks like Cummings has this race wrapped up now, he does a good TT and has a minute of a lead.

    Yes all wrapped up on stage 2

    But still TT battle between Dennis, Dumoulin, Cummings & Van Barle shoul be good

    What is with Etixx and not protecting the leaders jersey over a stage win?

    Well he popped in a huge way, I think they knew he had no chance up that climb tbh.

    Wiggins 2 & a half minutes down over an 18 minute tt? Why bother entering at all if only as a celebrity?

    So he could run up the hill imitating froome.
    He always was a bit of an eejit with the mod stuff and whatnot, but he turned into a complete bellend the last few years

    I like Wiggins...always have and always will ...He is a great mimic and he doesn't take it all too seriously

    He has personality and in a sport where everyone trotts out the same gibberish all the time I would prefer to hear Wiggo any day....Yes he can be difficult but so can alot of top cyclists/sportsmen... But his interviews/TV appearnces and how he transcends the sport is great

    Frooome is a nice reasonable man with of course a killer inscint (just ask the rabbits) but if I had to go on a desert island with either I'd pick Wiggo any day

    And I like child like behaviour ...everyone is too seriosu all the time

    I'm wondering, Will I or won't I? Do I dare? Ah sure, what the hell. . . .

    You must love Carlton Kirby so! There's even a site, What Carlton Said devoted to his more unusual outpourings.

    There, I said it . . . (Ponders looking into the difficulties of starting a new id for Boards)

    I am not sure i see the connection ...Wiggins and I like to think myself like childlike behaviour but with some sense of intelligence

    Better not get me started on my view of Kirby 'humour' ......There may be blood
