Chalk-Board-Moto-Girl was feeling a bit self-conscious today

TV Punditry is all very well but I only take my #tdf analysis from the Iraqi Minister of Information

The #TDF goes down the Rochette descent today which gives me another tenous opportunity to post this

I didn't know @laurenstendam was a bit of a new-romantic

Andy Schleck has another look about. Where's Frank Andy? Where IS Frank?

Watching the Schlecks watching Evans watching Contador watching Voeckler watching Basso

Look - this BMC rider has a 3D map of Thursday's Luz-Ardiden climb embedded in his calf. Nice one.

The #TDF should bring back the Combination jersey. The Algorithm involved in sorting this out must be immense

Those growing up in 70's and 80's Britain - remember this? Proof that the @Mavic chalkboard girl started early

A @CadelOfficial cartoon from '09. @Procycling_mag Ed went beserk citing the fact that P Hilton may have sued.

Bumping 'n Barging is the meat & drink of sprinting. Can't remember what this 1 was about from '05 but WHO is it?

When will spectators learn to keep out of the way in the #tdf ? This sort of thing has happened before

Pettachi to possibly ride for Kazakhstan eh? His potential manager will be over-the-moon

Sadly, unsurprised by the 5 players testing positive for doping in Mexico. I've always been suspicious of this guy

Ricco's manager says "Riccò is a good guy". Jeez, bizzare comment until you see who his media consultant is:

Looking forward to reading @rbmoore73 's 'Slaying the Badger'. I just missed out on the Hinault era. Pity.

The Italian 'Tifosi' are always good value - as today. Remember Wladimir Belli thumping one in the '01 #giro ?

Tour prep was much easier for @ivanbasso back in '06. I have no idea what this cartoon was actually about? #giro
