Nope, it's to keep your straps down and quieter. Plus most sunglasses are polycarbonate and aren't going to shatter like glass anyway

And, more seriously, where's the coverage of the closure of the cycle lane which forces you to cycle on the Totton bypass.

nice to see someone was thinking along the same lines as me with levi
As much as i love Levi, i do hope his frame breaks or chain or something, just to hold him up
I've got
Leipheimer
Hushovd
Mollena
Spartacus
Sagan
Franks
Caruso
Lastras
Kruijswijk
Hoping Levi can pull a good TT out of the bag and demote Cunego
Mine be
Cunego
Hushovd
Mollena
Cancellara
Larsson
Frank
Gerdemann
Kruschwicz
Stybar
But Kloden has figured the last 3 years, Fulgslang, Leipheimer, Sagan all to figure I think
I've gone for
Cunego
Sutton
Mollema
Cancellara
Frank Schleck
Giampaolo Caruso
Frank
Gasparotto
Kruijswijk
I know at least 4 of them can TT, just hoping on the few aiming for better GC than they have, Mollema will die to get some time back after today
yeh its 6.
well my team for tomorrow is:
leipheimer
rojas
mollema
fuglsang
cancellara
frank
caruso
ten dam
poels
Oh.... is it 6 points he said
GOing to crap tomorrow, I haven't a clue, moved Canc in yesterday, but who to pick it is lumpy, very lump.
you only want half his points
yep 3 points to me for Giampaolo caruso please.
Your getting none
Your catching up to quick, glad there is only tomorrow before the TdF, means i'll be at the top of the hill before you 
Scores are updated, people. I am pretending to be Dave today, he is off at Mountain Mayhem. The latter will be provided by on-and-off torrential rain, no doubt...
You've done a Dave aswell then, You've given points to the wrong Caruso
13,14,16,18
i'll get some GC points tho
My ride got cut short, couldn't get to where we were going cause some nutter had been going to fast and aquaplaned off the road, closed for police investigation, but i'm soaked anyways, meant to be worse tomorrow and supposed to be leaving for a couple of days camping on the bike
soo not happy with that
Good day here.
1, 5, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18 on stage, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9 in GC. Erred in taking out Bakelandts for Caruso, but otherwise a good scoring day.

Gkam,
Had a ride in beautiful weather earlier, until there were 3 miles to go and a thunderstorm hit
Soaked and desperately trying to get my shoes dry for tomorrow.
And I didn't do that well on the stage. Good to see Swifty and Stannard up there though, I tend to cheer on the Brits ahead of the riders I've picked.
Got Rojas in top 10, 1,2,5,8,9 in the GC, waiting on 11-20 at the line. Looks like an okay day. Movistar made a brilliant move on the last climb by pushing the pace to drop a load of sprinters - another note on the list of 'ways to stop Cav winning', perhaps.
mollema can still get ahead of schleck i reckon, well sagan comes back out of my team 2moro, im thinking of taking cunego out of my team now
Off to DROWN my sorrows on the bike, had a ride planned all week and it decided to totally tip down today, but we're still going out, so i'll come back to pathetic points, totally soaked and if i'm as lucky as i was in this game, some road rash
Top 10 GC
Cunego
Kruijswijk 1.36
F Schleck 1.41
Leipheimer 1.59
Mollema 2.11
Fuglsang 2.38
Ten Dam 3.10
Caruso 3.11
Frank 3.20
Van Garderen 3.22
Sagan
Goss
Swift
Fernandez
Hushvod
Rojas
Ciolek
Stannard
Clarke
Van Garderen
haha yhyh, nicely done by ben swift for 3nd though
Balls Balls Balls, I think i'll just retire now
wish poels had stayed away, i have him
I think its Boonen or Hushovd or Sagan today, i fancy them as top 3, else if Sagan wins i'm claiming the biggest cock up transfer award
well i think sagan will be in the top 3, rojas there or there abouts. and i know im gutted about mollema
NO NO NO, Mollema got dropped and is dying a death off the back on his own with Leopard pushing some speed
Not today i dont, HTC and Omega have taken nothing out of this tour, so they will be pushing hard, but Garmin are pushing extra hard, i hope Hushovd dont do it cause i was going to put him in with my other transfer, was kinda hoping he was saving for the TT
you dont fancy sagan for the sprint? i put sagan in for frank schleck, well i have rojas, so gonna go for him
