Its been a long year, but the tour is back at last, hooray.

Good to see Lance back and looking at his meanest, say what you want about the boy, but it hasn,t been the same without him.

Anyway who,s your money on, Contador will probably do it, but my outside bet is Michael Rogers, of the Highroad team, should be there or thereabouts at the end.

Astana seem to be a team ready to implode with Vino turning up, Kloden putting in an unlikely performance (the german authorities want him banned for EPO abuse), so maybe Leipheimer will rise out of the battle, leaving Contador and Armstrong to stitch each other up.


I'd like to see Sastre do it again and with the penultimate stage up Ventoux can see it as a real possibility.


SP, anyone but that hissy fitting, thunderbird lookalike Evans, anyone.

Hmm, I think Contador and I know what you mean about Evan's attitude off the bike but I still like him. He's all over the bike and he's an animal. He may not look the prettiest (he's a mountain biker after all ;)) but that's why I like him. He also never seems to have any sort of team around him so you have to have guts to try and do it alone. I felt so bad for him last year up d'Huez (which I climbed this weekend) when the Schleck brothers were double teaming him, hitting him one after another....it was painful to watch.

I did start to get quite into the Tour since my company CSC had a team. I actually met the team when they had a little pootle down to our headquarters a few days before the start from London. Since we ended our involvement this year I fear my interest is waining.... Now I don't know to to root for. Perhaps Sastre?

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
