No, it's not back on until 2pm (Eurosport and ITV4). I'm following it on Eurosport's GPS coverage:

Current lead is 7'45" with 100km to the finish but it's falling fairly fast..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

Have a look at the descent off the Colombiere on Google maps - it looks fast and a bit tricky. They'll be running from north-east to south-west.

Thank f**k - the tedious motorcycling is over and now we're back to the proper stuff..

In the recent Spanish blood doping case only 30% of the cases were cyclists. The rest covered other sports including football and athletics. Doping in those sports is hushed up far more than in cycling.Originally posted by mersey86 View PostIs the doping such high profile now that we can believe the top riders are clean? I find it hard to generate interest when the sport has been so tarnished.
Cycling has a real problem but let's not kid ourselves it's not going on in other sports just because we don't hear about it.
As James Richardson said today on Eurosport, Edgar Davids tested positive for Nandrolone and got a three month ban which coincided with the off-season. He missed one month of football.
Ivan Basso has not been found guilty of anything but has admitted that he had planned to dope and has been banned for two years. Alessandro Petacchi has a non-negative test for Salbutamol at the Tour of Italy and is suspended until his case is heard.
Cycling takes it more seriously than other sports..

Good stage but nothing special. As expected really.
Tomorrow should be more exciting - some big climbs and a mountaintop finish..

It's on right now. Watching it on French national TV (France 3). Start of race in 20 mins.
The french are saying that Vinokourov is bluffing.

Really? I think they could be right. All this stuff he's doing - miming slitting his throat, shaking his head - he's playing up for the cameras. It's so obvious it could be a double-bluff but I don't think so.
I'm also unconvinced about Kloden's injury - today should give us some indications at least.
It's not on here until 2pm. F****** moronic motorcycling.

Hopefully I also have France 3 on my bouquet ! Can't you subscribe to the Live Feeds from the Official Le Tour website ?
As for Vinokourov they just had a shot of him while he was climbing La Colombiere yesterday when he didn't disguise anything ... Might have been found out mind.
