    I usually do. I have a sportsbeting forum in Portugal and we follow live all stages.

    This is a pretty cool cycling video, he's clearly got a screw loose but impressive nevertheless!

    Skilful? Wreckless? Mad? Irresponsible?

    Agreed - the bloke is a prat, a clever barsteward. The plod, however, isn't exactly Einstein, is he?

    The copper didn't handle it very well, hardly a great advert for the boys in blue.

    Dutch, nobody got squished in yours, very disappointing.

    Pretty hairy! But, for me, it's the riding of the guy behind the head-cam who is taking massive risks!

    Seems a reasonable enough response to pushing someone off their bike. :bandit:

    Back to the Tour

    Today: Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux to Gap (163km, 1 x Cat 2 climb)

    Voeckler must be in with a good chance of holding on to the Yellow Jersey. But watch out for Samuel Sanchez, who will try to gain some time on those above him.

    The occurrence of bad weather, together with a narrow descent to the finish, could spell trouble for Ivan Basso and Frank Schleck.

    I think today will be a calm stage. Maybe an escape from the worst classified in the table. Nothing new concerning the yellow.

    Maybe...but, quite often, it kicks off after the last Rest Day. Tomorrow is moderately hilly; Thursday and Friday are monsters; Saturdays a Time Trial and Sunday a (likely) sprint finish in Paris. Someone may just go for it today!

    its a day for a breakaway to succeed. all the GC will try and stay out of trouble ahead of the final bigger stages.

    i expect the usual breakaway suspects will go for it today. nobody more so than philippe gilbert with a final bid for the green jersey.

    HTC Highroad are really going to have to shepherd Cav so Gilbert doesn't get the Green. PG is better in the mountains than Cav is.
