No I didn't really need it. I was asking for a chum who has since said "Been using live lounge which is far superior."

I'm glad I held back so many substitutions for the Ardennes.

I'm still left wondering what Bono did to be left out of your team...again!
I'm so proud of young Eddie Dunbar today. Knew he wouldn't let me down! Definitely one for the future there.

Me too. Imagine that race in wet weather all the way round!
What a ride by Gaudin! I keep hoping he'll top ten Paris Roubaix again but he's not come close to his 5th place there since.
Gaudin looked cooked so many times when he was off the back of the group and fought back so well!
They now have a 'McLaren' s-works for as good as ten grand.

Gutted Haig couldn't hang on to the lead going on to the Mur yesterday in the FW...had a feeling he would do well, so put him in my fantasy team.
Now for L-B-L & the final Classic!

I've reinforced my team with Odd Christian Eiking.SB must be made up with Grosu winning though, eh

I've just binned a brilliant tyre. A year ago I was advised to replace it because of squaring, but I held on. At this weeks service I was more forcefully advised to replace it. Basically, a couple of spots where the outer layer was gone, loads of cuts and embedded stones and no sign of the dimples to indicate wear.
I might now leapfrog 28s to 30s. I understand a pro team are running them all season this year.

Im still rolling on my Vittoria Randonneur 28's, & seriously thinking of leaving them on for good. Have proved to be absolutely bombproof in some horrendous conditions this winter (including riding off road in gravel / mud etc) despite being given some less than stellar reviews on line. With the state of some of the Counties roads I may as well keep them on, despite having a brand new pair of summer tyres sitting at home waiting to be put on.

Just seen the sad news that BMC founder Andy Rihs has passed away age 75.

Or folks that don't need a new trend selling to them every season
I'm still on rim brakes on both bikes and mainly 23's, although I'm happy to go to 25's where they fit.

That mountain on the finish of the ToC stage today was unbelievable!

Is there a prettier "small" stage race than the Tour of the Alps? I doubt it...stunning.
