No kidding :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I've missed that one ](*,)

Nice to see the general public getting involved in today's race. Very reminiscent of a Lance Armstrong incident a few years back but this time it wasn't just Lance that copped it but a right old pile up. Riders all over the place.

bus searched. Seems to be 'routine' but its still kinda funny. I get the impression the tour will need some mega good PR for a while.

There have been "issues" for a number of years now. Vials, infusion devices, syringes etc have all been found at some point over the last decade. Its a brutal sport & people / clubs will take what ever advantage they can. Way of the modern world.

Good time trial last night. Team SKY did well even though I hate SKY but do want the Brits to do well.

Manx Missile all the way :supz:

MAD MAD MAD race today

Crashes galore. Those roads were not designed for 100+ riders & it showed with riders going down like skittles.

Cavendish rocks it with his first stage win.
