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?

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
