First and second.

No idea about anyone else, as we haven't seen it.

I got nobody else in the top 10, but I must have got some 'little' points, to boost the big 1-2.

Right that's me back off to bed.

At least this way I'll get a bit of a lay in.
The downside of being a postie, is the internal body cloak waking you up early.

I'd just be stirring now and would be wide awake by 6, fingers crossed I'll get a bit extra and have a 'normal' day.




Oh and Aussie bird reporter, is cute.

Night SB.

She's no VP though. ;)
That she ain't but did seem to be a little chunkier, which is no bad thing!


I meant to say, earlier, those new tennis stats on the Lance thread, are truly shocking.

My predicted slide wasn't as bad as I expected. Hopefully my continued faith in sprinters will pay off on the street circuit.

Good result for me last night, climbing up the ranks slowly, a bit of a gap opening between SB and Thy Bucket though.

That Sky Sports 4 is possibly the shitiest race coverage I've EVER seen!

I had to find a startlist to find out all the 7 riders in the break as they never told us them all and then when the stage finished they didn't even show a Top Ten! Probably the shit Tour Down Under Tourist Board coverage more than sky sports, but whoever's responsible, it was useless!

And whilst I'm having a rant...yeah, thanks again PG. Will I ever learn :facepalm: Oh and well done Simon " I've got a bug/breathing problem this week" Gerrans, thanks for that. Atleast I had the sense to swap Lloyd out and so keep a half decent sprint team for tomorrow.

Eros Cappaci (sp) and Senor Blokez.
Come on.

I want some love for the Movistar rider who's name I didn't know, Senor Blokez.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning!

Back to first. 205 points in one stage, without picking the winner, could not have gone much better really. Just hope I can hang on for the final stage, as I am climber loaded now.

You are right that coverage was shocking. Gerrans surprised me too, and I have to say his interview where he mentioned "the young Blanco rider" was a bit disrespectful. Slagter has been the sensation of this race you surely know his name.
