One of the reasons that I love watching cycling, and the Tour de France especially, is the rambling commentary from Paul Sherwen and Phil Liggett.

I'm sorry, but with a haircut like that I'm surprised he's not getting even more stick about it. The ginger tufts were sprouting out of the holes in his lid! I'm looking forward to watching the UK coverage when I get home and giggling as they wind him up :) Does that make me evil?

I too am thoroughly enjoying this years Tour and the last two stages have been so exciting. I thought Linus Gerdemann was fab yesterday and I was on the edge of my sofa for most of today's stage. Kt and I were chatting through it and she kept on asking "What? What's going on?" whenever I went quiet to listen to Phil and Paul. I'm gutted though that Stuey crashed out and I just hope that he's not badly hurt. And it was horrid watching Michael Rogers climb off his bike. Ah well, that's the Tour.
