BRAD has left his 20 Marlboro in the back of his cycling skin suit, tut tut....

What is the energy bars?

Cyclesport magazine has an 'inside the peloton' feature, written by a current secret pro.
This month is about money, and seeing Pinot has just reminded me.



The article didn't dare mention actually winning a TdF stage.

I think (from memory) he is about five younger than Indurain when he won his first stage. It will be good if Pinot can finish the race and even better if he finishes the GC at about 11th, maybe? Not so good as Indurain in TT.

What is the energy bars? I could use a shot, I taken the rubbish down the dump on my bike and I have got the bonk!

His skinsuit has the labels of the official one, need a close up to see whether it actually is, look for the seams.

ITV said Le Tour had trouble finding him a suit that fitted as the top of his legs are so thin.

I fear for the Tour, if the Sky boys tear this up.

I said it the other day but it is worth saying again, you are now watching the second British winner of the Tour de France.

Really looking that way, lets hope if for a British team, could see him being poached after this tour
