Wasn't Sagan "Lantern Rouge"..haven't received 10 points for him..
nor the 5 points for 1st place in the points comp... 
This is proof that they are the most direct routes, ergo parallel cycle routes are required.
Slaying the Badger - great read
Got for my 'jollies' -
Marco Pantani (the death of)
The Secret Race
Also thinking of getting 'Inside the Peleton'
Fair enough. It doesn't say DNF on the TdS results sheet :-

Yes we like the Ridos we reviewed PJ, very well priced too.
If I was in the Olympic committee I wouldn't touch Spain with a barge pole. Too little too late as far as I'm concerned. They should maybe consider handing across the evidence against their athletes in operation Puerto before any of this stuff.
Hand over the blood bags or else!!
152 DNF Romain FEILLU FRA VCD 29 +30:27
stopsteam.com is often good too!
Nope, Feillu got a DNF for outside the time limit as I read it
Rido saddle is best! (for me, anyhow).
Their ideology is different - instead of padding, they just make the saddle shell flexible. No padding. Most comfy saddle i've tried.
Ahh yeah - I've had warburtons square wraps too. They're nice because you can get them in wholemeal.
British cycling have a rule somewhere, saying you can't cross the line with no hands on the handlebars when contesting for the spring
Are you serious mate?
And the PX one, which is obviously the comfiest in the Wurld.
Romain Feillu actually, another 1'20" further back in 152nd place
I was pretty impressed myself
The judge didn't say Watson's action in colliding with Sarah Slater was not a crime, nor that being a drug addict is an excuse. He simply acknowledged that the only penalty available is a fine and imposing one would be pointless. (My only knowledge of this is from the article and I don't know anything about the law. Defence Counsel apparently said, "The matter can only be dealt with by way of a fine and he is not in a position to pay.")
It does seem wrong that in this instance the law seems to treat a theft of property more seriously than a crime against the person that left the victim with bad injuries.
It begs the question of why a community service order was not available. In fact, it has been shown that short prison sentences do no good: it is not long enough for any programmes to be put in place to tackle the offender's drug problem. He would have been better off with a longer community sentence and a rehabilitation programme. Perhaps he could have made restitution to Sarah Slater in some way through that -- doing her garden, mending her bike or whatever. As it is, the punishment given is not likely to prevent re-offending and Sarah may well feel that she has had no justice.
If this is cut and paste, then it has an editorial which probably does have a slant if sorts. If you do not get source material you are relying on writing and editorial of another paper. As someone else says, we have to take the view that the judge got it right, but frustratingly the article does not support enough relevant details to indicate this, and given the way it is presented it suggests that there is some doubt - as if rough justice for cyclists was common place.
Hmmm, He was listed as 151st a minute ago...
Last home is Cyril Lemoine, I will update again once its finished updating....
look who just put the F into art bikes!
Let us laugh at these countries where they do not have clear distinction between their motorways and less major roads.....
OK, don't. In fact I was on the A329 one time and didn't notice it had become the A328(M). Still, I was flying. Doubt anyone noticed.
until the Man deploys some decent infrastructure and the rage-o-maniacs tone it down a few tics, bubble's on me bonnet.
And I have to ride down a steep hill just to get milk and butter.
I'm thinking Meyer could be in with a shout tomorrow......
