      No, not seen him today. Just that I can never remember him being happy to be interviewed.

            Most of his interviews are right after a race so my post may apply more widely.

            But yes, he probably is quite taciturn. He's from the Isle of Man you know.

            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.

                Good tactics from Cannondale today, finished off by the Boy Wonder.

                  Neil, your summaries are piss poor this year. Can you do the graphs you have done in previous years along with you take on the days events please? Just a couple of paragraphs will be suffice as I found your previous years commentary most excellent.

                    Sorry, I'm away at the moment. And the Giro summaries ended up being a chat just with Casemore. I'll see about doing more when I'm back.

                    I didn't see any of today's race but the aftermath.

                        It was basically a repeat of last year - Sky completely dominant on the front, decimating the field.

                        Doesn't look like anyone will get close to Froome.
                        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!!

                          How long are riders careers? How long will someone like Wiggo be able to go on for because most sports he'd only have a couple more years left at the top level.

                            Wow, just watched the highlights of this on Eurosport. What a ride by Froome and Porte, completely blew away the competition yesterday.

                            I can't see anyone dragging him in and taking the yellow jersey off Froome

                              Probably mid 30's is the upper limit, I think Cadel Evans is 36 now and he won the tour back in 2011 but is still seen as a challenger for the overall standings

                                Yes except he isn't credible really.

                                As for today, I don't think anyone expected that collapse.
