I suppose you might have imagined his bike with them...

They did mention someone on the first day who was running a second brake lever on the top of the handlebars as an option because of the cobbles. So as just mentioned, their Paris-Roubaix bike.

The class system is alive and well. When it comes to it, plebs like us will always follow the orders of our betters.

'slighly' geeky question...what sort of gear ratios would you guess that the riders used to get up that hill yesterday. I am rarely exicited when watching but I was on the edge of my seat, I was just blown away. And not a bad result either.

Jalabert reckoned 39x21 would be OK, but sometimes they go up to 39x28 for really steep stuff - probably depends who you are in the peloton.

He's the very model of a modern major-general. Stooping to selling tat on daytime tv. Oh the shame...

 

[HF2300]

He didn't look ashamed, I must say. Still, an Army pension only goes so far these days, don'tcha know.
