Have you tried shutting down and reloading the Cafe.

I had the double posts earlier and that seemed to clear it.

making a real name for himself as a shitty descender. First he basically loses the Tour de Suisse on a descent, now he’s basically blown the stage win after outkicking everyone to the 7km mark.

at least 90" back of Cance

which means more than a minute behind Bert, which I think pretty much eliminates him. I have to admit, I am shocked at how poorly Menchov did today.

Course too short?

I think Menchov prefers a longer time trial – he’s lost time in prologues before. Doesn’t explain the magnitude of the time gap though.

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
