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?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
