I like my tuesday nights to be filled with eye popping, lungbusting hills...not pancake flat spin spin spinning!

Not sure I can take seeing your 'cramp' face again...

No-one can take any pleasure in seeing Cuddles like that - he's ridden his socks off since becoming world champ and for me has been one of the most enjoyable riders to watch over the last year - pure grinta!

Schleck is going to really have to break contador on the last 2 hill top finishes to stand a chance here.....looks like Bertie's got it at the mo....

Veino.............dodgy? - definitely
fun to watch? Abso-friggin-lutely. Mad as or box of frogs.

Paaaah, only once?

Looks fun though. I'll be there on cowbell to support FRANK.

Leo, that is a high quality performance. Legend.

Dunc - awesome. Forgot about the need more cowbell bit...should've got Leo running up the hill like a maniac playing cowbell riffs on his Iphone.

Chapeau!

@andyp - yup....urgh. He should just STFU, HTFU and do it again tomorrow. That'd be the best answer.

Long stage tomorrow....

Good sprint - got out well and held it for a long time. Eddy BH has an engine on him doesn't he?

A (freepour) shot for each minute I was off? Oof!

Dude, I'd planned a gentle admonishment, not hospitalisation!

Thank god there were some professionals in attendance is all I can say.

Of course Bree Tequila. They free pour my shots there now, very nice....

YOU are a wicked man Noel. Be prepared to be force fed Tequila in retribution for your timekeeping irregularities next time I see you...

I'll bring a pump...

Some of the hill pics really do nail how steep it is.

That really was a wicked day out.

I used to get bacon rolls from the one in Hanover Square on the way to the tube in the morning - awesome.

Quite amusing...Cav...Toys...Pram....

Except for all the points Thor got the next day climbing up hills, which meant the penalty had no actual bearing on the end results?

And dubious eh? Tell that to Haussler who's not racing this tour thanks to Cav's famous line holding skills.

#notanexpert

Hmm - I'm no Cav fan boy but i think he was docked 13pts and Thor won by only 10...

As far as the Haussler incident, MC did drift but HH had his head completely down and did end up hooking MC. The spitting thing afterwards was completely out of order, mind.

Short of a fairly dubious penalty, Cavendish would have won last year.

I see him practicing a more catholic technique this year....

Pah...the inner circle is getting dangerously close to tarck action. What self respecting cyclist wants to do that?

(prepares flame proof bibs)

Can't believe you'd take the inner over the outer!

Outer Circle FTW.

Yeah great finish. Never seen Cavendish with so little...Renshaw tore it up in the last K for him too.

Ale-Jet @ age 38 or so? Who da thunk it?

Just had a LARGE burrito to add to the sausage roll, cereal and peanut bar I've already had today. Feeling very sleepy....

Awesome. I'm not at all a fan of Pharmstrong but he was a bad ass bike racer yesterday. That Veino / Contador / Wiggo group should have dropped him like a stone after he punctured but he rode it in like a demon.

ha...... i thouroughly enjoyed that bit... we got a good little rythm going for a while.

Rapidly degenerated into opportunistic wheelsucking / sandbagging / wobbly sprinting (that might have just been me and Sasmon) as we got into seemingly endless rotations of the WGC one way system. The route to the station seemed to be one of ever decreasing circles...

Hmm...I may have acquired a mildly chafed pair of jewels - most unusual, and the only blot on an otherwise lovely evening.

Mashton, WGC reminded me of one of those ghost towns that would pop up periodically in Diana Rigg erz avengers, creepy.
