Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

They're probably looking further afield than Brighton, broader horizons, like Liverpool.

I thought that all Scousers would be riding Boardmans.
Unscientifically, I reckon that about half the racing bikes I see out and about are Speshes

Lot of Dolan, Kuota, Felt and Focus around here. If you see a Pinarello it's probably Wiggo himself.

The entire population of middle aged men in Oxfordshire own pinarello's. I think it's a prerequisite to purchasing a house there.

I'm a middle aged git and I ride a Giant TCR!
Don't see any Pinarello's in my part of Oxfordshire.

The posh choice is Wiliers. So long as you catch it in time, it can be treated with anti-biotics though.

Given away by the fact that he says "Hey, Roy" when he opens the door... :-)

They should subtitle the advert

That interview yesterday was pretty telling, a bloody hard hot day in the saddle, finishes with the top bunch. Looks fresh as a daisy 10 mins afterwards and talking about looking forward to a ride on the rest day with the lads and grabbing a coffee.

Mind games or truth? Also, it makes me fancy riding out for a coffee but it's a bit late/hot today now so I guess I'll stay at work after lunch

Far too many of those nasty things about everywhere. Lots of Giants and a few Boardmans here too, as well as some nice stuff like Condors and Bianchis.

I forgot Ribble there's a few of em

Lots of Spech around the West Country as well. Saw some 'racing' Felts yesterday. They look beautiful and have impacted my opinion on what to look for in a new bike...

What, and be seen on something from the other side of the river?

Thanks - given I've a Wilier Izoard.

Around my area it's lots of Planet X's and the LBS does a good line in Spesh Tarmac S-Works.

They thought about it, but to put all the extra mountings on for the security locks would add unsatisfactory tonnage and spoil the lines.

One would have to ride with legs so akimbo that one would think one looks like a 20 stoner in jogging bottoms on a BMX riding away from the paper shop.

Meanwhile, Nairo was pictured today wearing his new aero gear for the coming time trial.

Wasn't really listening, but I think that I heard that Steve Cummings is replacing someone at the Olympics
