Will lend you my lap cat.
She’s soft and warm, but she glares and sticks her claws in my leg if I change position.

With the TTT coming up tomorrow?!
Save the legs for them I think. Dunno if they marked tomorrow’s stage
Good point.
Matt White just said as much on onterview on VS.
Looks like Saxo is working now though.
"…I saw bloody Cavendish coming, really fast…"
HH
Just checking in right now, this from yesterday:
Cavendish/Rooijakkers spat (video H.264 MPEG4, 512×384, 13 sec, 1.3 MB). So who started it? IMO Cav took his hands off the bars first and shoved Rooijakkers where he almost crashed into the guys next to him.
Yup
Just watched that. Unless there’s some pre-clip action between the two, Cav’s way out of line on that one. I’d have kidney punched him, too.
according to CN, Lloyd Mondory started it
A spokesperson for Skil-Shimano confirmed that Rooijakkers had been the rider to strike out at Cavendish, after being pushed into the line of the Columbia-HTC train by Frenchman Lloyd Mondory (AG2R La Mondiale).

smack talk...
so has there been any mention of the smack-talk after yesterday’s stage? Particularly Cav about Rooijakkers, and Haussler about Napolitano. Antsy bunch! Bit of argy-bargy!
I haven't heard much, it's been mentioned
But i would think there’s a few riders or teams not talking to one another in the peloton and avoiding each other
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Yeah Cav twittered it on Renshaws twitter account
"the rest was over 30. And that doesn't mean old and useless, but experienced and with the stamina"
Jens! Voigt, Crit Intl Interview, 2009
so it is possible to tweet a "bah" to cavendish
Bah....Cavendish?!
Yes go thru Mark Renshaw, he is using his tweets.
"the rest was over 30. And that doesn't mean old and useless, but experienced and with the stamina"
Jens! Voigt, Crit Intl Interview, 2009
Here what was tweeted
Yesterday with 3km to go, Piet Rooijakkers (skil shimano) kidney punched me. Is he a:stupid b:crazy c:disrespectful d:all of the above? Cav
"the rest was over 30. And that doesn't mean old and useless, but experienced and with the stamina"

Renshaw said
Mark Cavendish will be making random tweets from my phone… Dont get me in too much trouble Cav !
I tweeted back and said goodluck with that, can’t wait.

"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Update
104km to go
Saxo Bank still at the front of the peloton trying to bridge the gap. Not suprisingly, Columbia are behind them. Obviously they know the risks associated with today’s stage and want to ensure Cavendish is near the front to avoid him being caught out. On the left hand side, there are some Cervelo jerseys moving Sastre up. Rabobank are also on the far left moving up, looking after Menchov and Gesink. A move could happen very soon. The gap is 10:38.

Yeah I saw that
But was thinking we might have something similar to what we did in the Giro where it was a recommended post that stayed the whole time.
LOL. Like I did in the Giro.
I can do it again for the Tour—the main reason I haven’t so far is that there didn’t seem to be that much interest in the Giro points thread.
Bah...bradBordeaux?!
No worries if minimal interest
I had thought there was more interest. If it is too much work then no need to worry about it. I can keep track myself :)
Nah, just went ahead and threw it together.
Won’t take any more time to put it in that thread than in the post-stage thread. It’s up now.
Bah...bradBordeaux?!

Update
The break are about to climb the second categorised climb of the day, the Col de La Vayede. After the descent, comes the feed station. The riders will be awaiting that. It’s tough out there for them today. They need to re-stock the best they can as I feel within the 30km after the feed station, there is going to be some major action in the peloton.

Yeah that’s at least the 2nd interview they’ve had together. Chapeau for Frankie and lance to be cordial enough.
I noticed that on Saturday as well. They didn't look uncomfortable.
I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.
Even if they haven't somehow sorted it
LA knows that FA isn’t going to go after him or present awkward questions (that’s just not FA’s coverage style). So no danger, no need to prove/provoke anything.
Plus yes, as itswell notes, LA’s a pro, media-wise. Mostly.
Agreed, though Frankie knows Lance from old and I'm sure there was some
wonderfully electric tension under the surface. At least at first. How could there not be?
I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.
oh, I know the backstory
well, as much as a fan gets from press, books, etc. But I also think that there’s a clear alpha/not current there. Andreau just isn’t a threat to him in any way. (Also, Andreau, in my slices of experience around him, goes waaay out of his way to be thoughtful and deferential to all of the riders he interviews. It’s a very tension-defusing approach.)
I was thinking of it more from
the point of view of how I’d talk to someone that had in the past basically called my wife a liar.

Update
Maxime Bouet is still the leader on the road, as he trailed the Maillot Jaune by 1m39s in the GC. The worst placed of the four leaders is Samuel Dumoulin, who was 2m42s behind the Fabian Cancellara at the start of the day. With a lead of 8m03s, these four could well climb up the standings, albeit for one day only.
The peloton are now climbing the Col de La Vayede. Kurt Asle Arvesson is doing a mountain of work at the front of the peloton. The work he does for his team year in year out is phenomenal.

I prefer the look of the slimlines, but
the somewhat bigger are more functional, for me. So Nike Interchange’s. Which I cannot find replacement lenses for, these days. So recently started search for something else. May end up with Oakley Radars.
Are you saying that you have a large melon and the slim profiles don't fit?
