Seen a bit, Cavendish is doing well, motivating me to get my road bike sorted. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

Strangely this is the first year in many that I haven't followed it at all. Speaking to a few that have it does seem I've missed a good one.

I say GO Hushovd aswell though! Much more sympatic guy than Cav which is a TINY little bit Cocky! |

Argos do them for £15 I believe. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Today's stage will suit Hushovd as it is not so flat. He has the chance to be back in Green tonight. Matt, I missed it for a year or so when C4 stopped covering it, but then Sturgeo bought a freeview box and it was back. The thing is, that yesterday's stage should suit him as well. It seems as it suited Cavendish more. lol On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

So who rides a road bike then?? Ive just bought a cheapo road bike, as my mountain bike is quite worn after 3000miles, and was cheaper to buy a new bike than replace the chainset etc.. 
Amazing how much difference there is even with a bottom of the range road bike compared to a top end range mountain bike. Ive stopped riding for a few weeks now as I was loosing to much weight, and can't seem to eat enough too sustain any kind of weight.
