Are the Alpecin ads serious? Kittel: I just like the feeling of thick hair. Is OK Degenkolb: I leave it on for 2 minutes. ??????

Hey FG, did you manage to watch the Lions match today? Did the jumper bring a tear to the eye? Almost did to mine and I'm a Sainter! God it took me back.

Looks like fell short of the 2,600 Grater. Pity. Still a really good score. My best this week was 2,376 in RDT. And that was with Rocky as "C" with Goldy and Gaz both in my team.

Traded in Sagan and Degenkolb. No more trades until after the rest day. Maybe switch Etixx to MTN Qhubeka. Gives me more cash to play with and like their style - they really go for break-aways. Alp d'Huez is my double-points stage. Saving trades to get the best GC for that.

Not totally out of the question, Grater. Good score whatever they get. Congrat.s

Tonight is the last sprint stage before the Champs. I'll probably trade in Sagan as it suits him and he has to win sooner or later. Which of the GC are looking best, do you think? I'm thinking Froome and Valverde with Quintana suited to the last week. So I'm thinking of dropping Tejay and...

I used to be that way with Collingwood, before the days of fantasy. Now that I'm older, wiser and far more mature I just hate all teams that aren't St Kilda equally. Disperses the hate so much it's almost unnoticeable.

On Fyfe/Ablett again: Noticed Lyon said that Freo would have to get better at protecting Fyfe just as Geelong had protected Gaz. No mention of the lack of protection Gaz has had at the Suns. I assume it was Lyon's back-handed way of saying that Fyfe is still young and learning his trade - just...

Understand, juddernaught. Been listening to a footy podcast and they said when Goldy was drafted he'd only played footy for a couple of months, max. about 8 games. Was a real punt. Come a long way. No eagles but "thejuddernaught"?

@Grater Given the history of shenanigans in the tour I can understand why Sepulveda was suspended but given the situation itself think it's a but harsh. It isn't like the poor guy was trying to cheat. I mean, it wasn't even his own team car!

As I've said all along: I like Ffye, think he's a star, but how can you say he is untaggable when no-one ever tries? How would Fyfe go when he gets the attention Gaz does? I think the last few weeks have answered that question. There is only one Gaz! Later: not saying Fyfe can't learn. Just...

Rate: Was a terrific game by Goldy. Well worth using to demonstrate just how the position can be played. Have to disagree slightly, though: I reckon Cox played a few just as good. You must have seen some Juddernaught? Hate: Commentators are banging on about changing the game to lessen the...

Still 11th. Hope you all held on to Sagan. He can't seem to win but he's consistent. A really good pick-up. Do feel for him: he's had 15 x 2nd place finishes in the last 2 tours without a win.

We're not doing too badly, are we. Congrat.s on those with Rodriguez. He's been a good pick.

In reference to his poor form? All riders are tested regularly but Nibali does ride for Astana so it's a good chance he's on drugs as Astana has a history with drug users. I don;t trust them at all. Team Manager Vinokourov was banned for 2 years for blood doping in 2007; Contador won 2010 Tour...

You have to wait until about 2.30min in for the footage. The 2nd video link is nothing but post-crash mechanic-cam. More extended footage than Orica put in their daily film report.

Same of the same video but this purely from the mechanic-cam at the crash. 180,000 hits.

Sorry, Prospector.

If you haven't seen this it is the Orica daily film report on Stage 3, the day of the crash. The main interest is in the Orica mechanic's helmet-cam view of the post-crash site. Interesting. Already had almost 123,000 hits.

You might never start an Ashes forum, I'm afraid, Cool 9. The Poms will be sure to prepare pitches that are totally unsuited to fast bowling so our main weapons will be blunted. Our blokes will get frustrated and that will be that. Hope not though as I, too, am an Ashes tragic but I don't have...
