Does this photo present the best evidence that riding in breezy Brittany is a good thing?

Have finally found the channel that is showing the tour over here.
Though its all in espanol, so its kind od difficult to work out whats going on.

Speaking of him have you any idea what position he is in.

Don't let Blaboon see you write that about Julz and NZ not having the depth. He will argue the point with out really having one himself

Its the NZ races that REALLY matter :eh:

Cavendish, Zabel, McEwen.

Pretty close there! Nice work.

Awesome... God I love bunch sprints!!!!

Julz just outside of the top 10 by the looks of things. Not too bad with my picks. Cavendish getting the win and Zabel 3rd (picked 2nd).

Julz was too far back but even when he started to throw it down just went backwards. Needs some more top end hopefully 3rd week

Looked to lose Maggie's wheel just as the going got going and from then was scrambling to keep in it.

Must be gutting to be Vogondy right now.

3.14 am, 3.22 am, 3.24 am, are you guys never sleep?!?? :crazy:

Or watching the tour live? Real fanatics here! Our local forums are dead places at these hours..

Or does your boss/wife allow you to do a day nap..

Jan1965, just saw your post. The question is, what are you doing on a NZ forum which should be dead. I too am in Holland btw, so i have a sneaky window up to keep track of proceedings. I will try and get some time off for the Mountain stages and watch them on telly.

Enjoy it guys.
