That't it - 2.50 in on this middle clip.

The third headbutt always makes me laugh.

0:45-1:02 is my favourite moment in road racing.

That camera angle you refer to at 2.50 is just comical. It's like watching an episode of Road Runner!

The man is an absolute phenomenon and no mistake

My favourite comes later with the yellow jersey leading out the world champion.

It's possible that clip proves he's the best sprinter of all time. The speed he goes away from them is phenomenal.

Not bad, but Brad's lead-out at the World's was the most impressive I've ever seen. Certainly repaid the Maddison cock-up from Beijing.

I'm not too sure who on Team GB will fancy this, G maybe?:-

Nice one Jay.

SB. Butting, really? I hope he got properly punished for that. I'd put his lights out if he did that to me. Not an isolated act though:

Yeah Renshaw got kicked off that tour, the first person for 20 odd years.

From memory it was decided 1 headbutt was ok, but 3 too extreme.

Here's the previous expulsion, for violent conduct:-

Looks a very tough one - would suit a LBL type rider.

The TT however looks like one of our ridiculous dual carriageway courses! Pan flat and not a turn in sight!

Based on current TT form you would have to think that has GB v Germany written all over it.

Interesting to see that clip links to Cipollini's 4 stages in a row at the tour - in each of those clips he's nowhere near the fastest. Steels was going much quicker in all of them (bar the foot coming out!) and still managed not to win one. Plus they just let the Saeco train do it all - Cav would have flown off his wheel and won it by about a bike length!

According to the chaps at velocast, this is Nibali's big target now, Rainbow jersey then a full on pursuit of next years TDF, to give himself the full set. In this form, his team and that World Championship course he has a good shot at it all.

That ain't happening, then.

The podcast before last they spent 10 mins going on about all the stuff they'd got wrong, previously.
It wouldn't be so bad, but we the geeks, happened to have nailed 90% of it.

DECALS

I have no idea who I was talking decals with, but I've just spent the last half hour on the phone to Nick @ hlloydcycles.com.

The guy is a freakin legend.
A total knowledge monkey with an amazing attention to detail, all the while listening to me prattling on.

Well worth speaking to for anything decal.

He's got it bad.

It's been sold out for some time. I hope to be doing 'The Long One' on 29th June though...anyone else?

Think I'll be putting myself down for that one. Although 124 miles is one serious sportive!

Yep. It's a good one, though, and if the weather's good, even better. You take your time on this one. Let's see if we can persuade Bold and Hamilton to join us, make a day of it!

 

[Motogull]

I thought there might be more of us confirming for the REMF ride.

Anyway, NSG caps by then?
