There's a little race going on in France

Ah, that time of the year again, huddled under the blankets in the wee hours of the morning, matchsticks holding the eyelids apart, drinking coffee all day at work to avoid falling asleep while trying to sell a bike. Actually, with SKY now on the box in my shoebox, I don't have to stay up for the flat stages of the first week, as I can catch the last two hours replayed in the morning, finishing conveniently at 8am just as I head out into the wind and rain. Unfortunately the SKY coverage suffers from the same syndrome as SBS in Australia... I like to call it 'the Tomalaris Syndrome'. i.e the presenter of the coverage knows jack-all about cycling, and is incapable of even reading a name of a screen correctly. For the first 5 days of the race he's constantly referred to Cancellara as "Cancerella". This morning though he'd finally been told to get it right, probably after a flood of complaints such as the one I made. He's probably a BMXer...
The highlight for me was "Cancerella's" stage win when he took it upon himself to stomp across the gap to the breakaways and take the win. Awesome. Now, bring on the mountains.
