After the splendid spectacle of the TTT and a very nearly yellow for Mr. Armstrong we return, presumably, to the Mark Cavendish show. Or have Columbia already done enough in this first week? Would also be nice to see old coke head Tommeke actually contesting a sprint. You decide. 3 picks each.

Just trying to work out the timings guys. Think everyone in the cmpetition has the same time (from different riders) but individual timings for Stage 4 haven't come up on the le Tour website. Who were the five Astana riders please?

1. Cavendish (His lead-out train is second to none)

2. Boonen (He'd better do something this tour after Alby got booted!)

3. Thor (Can't write him off)

Probably going to lose this one but:

1. Hushovd
2. Farrar
3. Cavendish (after his comments yesterday, I think he may be a marked man)

the usual 3 plus Zubeldia and Kloden, I think.

I've had to go to the overall standings for stages 3 & 4 & work the timings. Thanks Le Tour website ~NOT. It was Jens with his Kloden & Hincapie that I wanted to check. He 'squeaked' in with Kloden to keep hold of a share of the Yellow jersey. 9 different riders picked yesterday but we all ended up with the same time. Off now to do the spreadsheet.

Boring I know but I'd be stupid not to put Cav in the pick... gonna go for Boonen today too [what am i thinking] and Casar should the break suceed...

Cycling news says that one again the stage could be windy so look for teams taking advantage of that...

Cav
Boonen
Casar

That was who I was going to pick for a breakaway!!!

In that case.. Im going..

Cavendish

Hushovd

Auge

Dont want him now... my fourth would have been Farrar...

Was going to leave Cav off tonight because Columbia must be tired but... insanity would be betting against him?

Hold onto your knickers.

1/ Cav

2/ Roche (Found there wasn't an 'a' in the name, speeling isn't my stwongpoint)

3/Kuschynski

Hmmm! Isn't he picking the same riders each time? You watch, when I don't you know what'll happen.

Auge was in the breakaway on Stage 2 wasn't he? Think you need to go for another Cofidis rider Cat.

PS I had Auge pencilled in to until I checked.

Don't think CHR15 likes cricket but the Ashes start in under an hour. Wonder if it's raining in Wales. Ties in with your Wesh girls lusting rather nicely doesn't it!

Bloody Aussies get everywhere. Suppose it's a sort of homecoming for them. Piffing criminals descendants. So what were the New Zealanders? The one's who weren't due to hang?

I can feel another day of Cadel baiting coming on. Luv yah really Cat. xxxx
