This'll start again soon won't it?

We should have a sweep to see how many of the competitors get done for roids. I'll go for 3. Oh and it won't be so much about the bloke winning the race but how Lance is doing. Yawn.

I know you're looking for a bite so here you go.

Do fuck off. This is one of the best and toughest events in the year. Yes, there will always be cheats, like the NSW bloke holding Folau's shorts for Hayne to score Wed night . By the way, there will be more than 3 but may take til after the event to catch them, just like last year.

Anyway, it's great to watch and it goes for 3 weeks with separate races in amongst them and each day is a stage race in itself.

The media and others with little knowledge of the sport will only take interest in how Lance does. Go Cadel. And just because you only like your men buffed to the max beggers , doesn't make these athletes and the event good to watch.

And while you're snoring you're head off, I'll be keenly watching and probably betting on this great event. Already got my 2009 yellow Tour shirt when in Paris earlier this year.

Mission accomplished.

I'd agree with Begs, if I could stay awake long enough to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I mean, it's a fucken bicycle ride through the French country side? Isn't that a fucken Contiki Tour?

That's a bus ride. Bike is where you pedal with your legs.

My cousin rode around France and parts of Europe on his bike as a backpacker many years ago. Almost killed himself a couple of times. Was in the colder months though making it tough. Well maybe not for you nancy boys sipping on your chardonnay before an afternoon kip.

Hats off to the guys drugs or no drugs. I just cycled 70km this morning and feel like I wanna puke!

Oh I think you'll find there are also bike tours mate.

As for sipping Chardy and an afternoon kip, dream on cycle boy.

I see one of the 'athletes' has been done for drugs already! Fuck me haven't even had time to pump the tyres up yet!
