And to further compound my misery, I finally got my car started, then on the way home the car directly in front of me on a roundabout dropped a spot of oil, I had no way to avoid it and my car spun. Suddenly I was facing the wrong way in the middle of traffic on a roundabout.
Definitely not my day  |

This is not your tour..todays adventure. And I remember when you left early to get home and watch another mountain stage ..you get flat wheel. Hold on..survive..we have just few more days to go..
Ventoux day..just stay home... |

Yes, it's an Opel Corsa, and yes, that description fits it. |

Does anyone know how Frank did on the 30km TT on stage 4 of the tour last year?
I know he finished nearly 5 minutes behind Vandevelde in the 53km TT at the end of the race, but I don't know if that was a horrible performance on one day... or a more accurate view of how his TT's compared to the better GC TT guys.
He was only 30 seconds or so behind most of the GC guys in stage 1... but it was fairly hilly so I'm not sure how good an indicator that is. Is a minute loss per 10km about right, or would 30-45 seconds per 10km be more reasonable? |

Levi said Conta asked Kloden if he could ready for an attack, and Kloden said ok and he did not want him to be dropped. |

Cyclingnews live commentary mentions that Contador asked Kloden something and Kloden responded by waving his head "NO" |

Levi said: I can tell you that AC and AK speak to each other in English, so it's easily possible there was a misunderstanding. I'm sure we will see

If that's the case, there will be a big battle for 3rd amongst several riders. If he drops 3-4 minutes to Lance/Nibali/Wiggins/Kloden then he might miss the podium. |
