You're on. Dunno WTF I'm bringing to the table though. I'd offer to sub-edit your website, but it looks like someone already has (at last! :) )

That would be the ever pedantic (and owner of a dictionary) Chuan.

Not to slide too far off topic... But how about that win by Belinda Granger at Roth?

(on a BMC... token road/TDF reference)

I think that he learnt a lot from King Lance. But I don't believe that this is his year. Not yet.

But next year...

Samples ordered. Will be on display at the Bicycling Australia Show in October. Will then be tested by Ride Cycling review and cycling news (right Johnjohn?)

Actual stock is claimed to be shipping in Oct.

I have no idea. We just set up the bikes to suit the riders height etc.

Bringing the back to TDF (althought only teniously). JJJ morning radio "J and the Dr." were banging on about O'Grady and McEwen. Said it was great for the sport and they should be jousting. After watching it myself, I think McEwens head body was pulled down the first time with elbow going underneath Stuies (ride a road bike and drag your elbow down, your head goes down, you don't have a choice). The 2nd time though looks a lot more delibrate though, desperately trying to create an opening.

It will be interesting to hear what Roy and HG say about it on the weekend.

I have but one thing to say...last nights/ yesterdays TTT was the most exciting finish i've ever watched. my god that was a close race, and so unlucky for the CSC team to lose their leading ridier 1.5km's fro the finish.

was a great race....did anyone stay up to see if Zabriskie was ok...he looked pretty hagard coming in to the line (as you would be after crashing at 60km/h)...

Can someone explain how the TTT contributes to individual points tally and individual time???

Cheers
