Just watched highlights of the last 2 days.

slightly drunk but just realized at the start of this race I thought Wiggo was an idiot to think he could get top 20 and now I'm disappointed he's in forth.  So can I please apologies to him now but intercourse it, all or nothing attack attack attack !!!!

see you on Sunday!

Lets hope he makes it six on Sunday. Traditionally there will be a lot of small groups trying to get away on the circuits of Champs Elyesse but if his team can pull it together on the final lap I can't see anyone beating him at the minute.

Well, that's the GC settled then. Well done to Contador, always likely to win but I didn't expect it to be so emphatic. It was his time trial win on Thursday that impressed me the most - we all knew he could climb but I didn't realise how much he had improved against the clock. Andy Schleck gave it a good go, especially today, but he was never going to drop Contador and will always lose time in the time trials, a worthy second place though. Respect to Lance Armstrong for finishing third, as I said at the outset he is a phenomenal athlete. Biggest respect to Bradley Wiggins though - fourth place, the best ever finish (I think) by an Englishman and joint best by a Brit. Nobody predicted that!

Hopefully the traditional bunch sprint to finish it all off tomorrow - this is the one they all want to win and whilst it should go to Cav there's always a risk of something going wrong - anyone remember Abdoujaparov 1991? [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nt4x3nuzfQ[/url]

Yes I remember that crash,

There's been a few over the years,

Lets hope nothing happens tomorrow,

I said at the start of the race that Armstrong would not win, well hats off to him he did a lot lot better than I thought.

Well done to all the riders who finished.

I think all the other teams thought,

We can not beat Cavendish so why bother.
