    On the Ning Nang Nong
    Where the Cows go Bong!
    And the Monkeys all say Boo!
    There's a Nong Nang Ning
    Where the trees go Ping!
    And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
    On the Nong Ning Nang
    All the mice go Clang!
    And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
    So it's Ning Nang Nong!
    Cows go Bong!
    Nong Nang Ning!
    Trees go Ping!
    Nong Ning Nang!
    The mice go clang!
    What a noisy place to belong,
    Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

      It's been a great race so far. BBox made yesterday much harder than expected which might have reaper cushions today.

      Chavanel and Pineau were excellent again.

      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.

        Today's stage is going to be extremely interesting.

            Exciting finish to today's stage with Andy Schleck taking the victory.

            Astana did an astounding amount of work for Contador, but when Schleck attacked, it didn't look like Contador could match it with him.

            Armstrong extremely unlucky, crashed right before the first major climb and then crashed again at the top of it. Leipheimer will probably become the new team leader for Radioshack.

            Evans into yellow.

              Another solid performance from Nicolas Roche. Dropped off the Contador group towards the end but, at 26, is one to watch for the future!

                I'm not sure he's a potential Tour contender but he has improved a lot in the last couple of years.

                  Another incredible day. Armstrong was unlucky but he's over the hill...about 12 minutes behind everyone else.

                  I thought Sky's tactics were suspect - Wiggins isolated himself by getting the team to ride on the front on the Ramaz and then had no-one to help him when he was dropped. Kloden and Hesjedal among others passed him after that and he obviously had to wait for Loqvist to ride him up to the line. Bad mistake.

                  Contador was clearly weaker than Schleck today which sets up the next fortnight beautifully. And Evans is performing incredibly well - I don't really understand why until today people were saying Schleck was the highest placed of the GC contenders. I can only think the pundits reckon Evans will suffer in the Pyrenees and pay the price for riding so hard in the Giro.

                  A really exciting Tour so far. Much better than the World Cup.

                      Didn't mean he'd necessarily emulate his father but a great all rounder imo - not a one trick pony.

                        Dan Martin looks a good rider too, although he's English really.

                        Actually, I think he's Nicolas Roche's cousin.

                            Looks like a very hard stage today, if any of the conteders has a bad day it could all over for them.

                              Wow, what a massive stage in terms of the final placings.

                              Schleck and Contador are pretty much the only two contenders now.

                              Cadel Evans struggled massively, looks absolutely shattered. Gotta feel for him.

                              Sammy Sanchez had a fantastic ride! Into third place.

                              And of course, Casar with the stage win, rode smartly in those final 200-300 metres.

                                Turns out Evans was riding with a fractured elbow. No wonder he couldn't keep up.
