Not absolutely sure but I may have the whole stage live. Coverage starts at 1100 BST. Should have seen Deb's face when I told her. She knows I've got Grand Prix Qualifying to watch as well. And the Ashes highlights.

Ive had people stay and tell me that our couches are more comfortable than their beds...

My flatmate is easily bribed (just through him some food from time to time) and you are al good...

See you when you get here!

 

Otherwise... take Deb out or do something with her she REALLY wants to do andyou should be ok!

Won't be around today. On Daddy duty. Have fun!

Go Wiggo!!!!

Here's what he had to say after yesterday's stage:

"It's about time I got my arse in gear," he said. "I'm 29 now and I've been going at this for eight years, and I've never really given it a good shot. I think I annoyed a few riders today. Frank and Andy Schleck kept getting the hump with me, because they've never seen me in that position before. They were thinking, 'Will you just off and let us get on with our job?' I felt great on the climb but I was trying not to get too excited as it's only the first day in the mountains."

Live coverage. I do like to see the opening part of a stage where they kick off & try to make a breakaway. Just transferring to laptop & TV downstairs.

[/QUOTE]I've been watching for years & years but have a very short term memory, & even that's going. When you mentioned Gerdemann winning a couple of years ago, was that on a lone breakaway? Seem to remember that.

From what I can remember... Small breakaway but he was too strong for it.... finished wth a LONGdescent after a few serious mountain climbs...

Edited to Add: Pretty sure it was 2007

Maybe they are just slow to warm up?
