I don't have Eurosport so have to make do with 1 hour ITV4 highlights when I can't watch a live stream.

Today even 2 hours highlights will have a job catching all the action as this stage is so fluid again so far. Looking to be yet another great stage on what has been one of the best Grand Tours for a good while.

How did you know 1066 Sixth sense You didn't miss much.

The girl is nuts

She's incredible. Saw a documentary about her. She thought she was training on a closed road once and you can guess the rest.

Looks nice - great feeling getting out on a new steed! (Those wheel reflectors are making my brain itch though!)

Dont worry - they'll certainly be coming off before my next ride!...as will the saddle. Rock solid & not comfy at all.
Oh, for the days of my old San Marco Rolls...eBay here I come.

San Marco Rolls - that brings back memories. Not one for the weight weenies though! I've got so many saddles off ebay in my garage trying to find the right one.

[MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] swears by wheel reflectors.

Apparently they are 'sensible' and add to 'safety'.

It is illegal to cycle on a public road after dark without lights and reflectors.

It's that sort of reckless attitude that causes accidents and gives cyclists a bad name!

By the by... There's a great supplement in Cyclist this month profiling gravel bikes.

Ditching's own Orro bikes gets a good review for the Terra retailing at £1000.
