    It is!

    I'm glad David Moncoutie didn't win today's stage. I think the husband would have smashed the tv.

      Fantastic by Hushovd yesterday, that guy keeps to amaze me

      Todays stage is going to be very interesting, probably the hardest in the tour this year and a lot can be settled today. Will be interesting to see if Contadors knee have gotten better. I wonder if the Schlecks have found out who they are driving for? They could end up ruining it for eachother if they don't get a strategy soon.

        I'm watching it about twenty minutes behind live. It'll be interesting to see if the Schlecks test Contador before Plateau de Beille to see if he's still suffering like he did on the Luz Ardiden. If he is they could gain much of the time they need but they won't get enough if they leave the attack until the final climb.

        With all those climbs in the middle of the course, a flat stage tomorrow and then a rest day today is set up to be a really important.

        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.

          this final climb Plateau de Beille is going to be very interesting, let's see who from the top riders can break their competition, big finish this andI fancy Frank Schleck for this one and to win overall, last year with the chain issue it was bad form from Contador so prefer if someone else took it.

            It's all kicking off now.
            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!!

                Interesting From y'day. Down the Aubisque at one stage all Garmin riders, eccept one, had ca 80kph, whereas Hushovd was clocked to 112.

                  Looks like we'll have to wait for the Alps!

                  Tommy Voeckler is in amazing form. I expected him to lose the maillot jaune a few days ago. Doing a marvellous job to hold onto it.

                  Also loved the way Jens Voight just emerges from that patch of bush after one of his crashes.

                    Aye, and how he told the cameraman to **** off after his second crash!

                      Pity it never really took off but it's a hard climb and clearly no-one felt strong enough. Contador's response to Schleck's third attack was decisive I thought - it was a statement that he wasn't as weak as they thought.

                      After that no-one was willing to take a risk. As you say ningnangnong, we'll have to wait until the Alps.

                                was making a sarcastic hetero normative statement about folding laundry and watching important men compete on television.
