Lots of pain found me today Stu, something about going into Wales doesn't agree with me.....
I like "Training is like wrestling a gorilla: you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is tired."
Interesting start to the Dauphine, can't really draw many conclusions from it, big stage tomorrow/today. Froomes praying mantis style is so ugly but effective.
Got to love Contadors out the saddle pedalling style.
Like the look of the Poc helmets on the Garmin team as well as the Cervelos, nice to see something slightly different.

Team time trials today I didn't race as no TT bike and sore legs still! Had another short recovery ride.

Nope, when it's really hot I always wear a wicking base layer

Wow. Unless Cambridge is somehow much colder than Manchester that's pretty crazy
I overheat in pretty much anything

Isn't Platypus somewhere in the Alps?
After enjoying just ~2k miles on GP4seasons, the recent London-to-Paris trip put a hole in my sidewall. Took a trip to Evans last night and picked up some Gatorskins, as 4seasons were £45 each :/
One ride in the rain later, and I'm tempted to order some more 4seasons online and swap them out - the gators have literally zero grip in the wet! Fishtailing down a hill is not my idea of fun.
Any recommendations (not Vittoria Rubino Pro's, I've tried them and disliked them) for some commuter tyres (25 or 28mm) that have an equal amount of grip to the 4seasons but don't cost 12 million pounds?

what's the weather like in Cambridge then? I was sweating like hell with t-shirt and shorts..
the again I ride with the same clothing when it's over 8c
So I ended up winning the Boris Bike race! I had to laugh as I was on the warm up lap because of how ridiculous the event was. Thousands of people watching me race a Boris Bike around Smithfield market. After 2 laps, it was obvious it would come down to 3 people, by the final corner there were 2 of us and I managed to stay ahead for the sprint finish. There was a motorbike camera in front of us the whole way and highlights should be on Sky Sports tomorrow, although I doubt they will show much of my race.
