    Tour de France predictions

    i know, barely noticed landa was at the tour. ye fingers crossed remco wins tomorrow as think he’s done well this tour and prob won some fans with way he has tried to push for second. that said decent chance pog could win again and as u say he is accumulating stage wins pretty rapidly! .

    Tour de France predictions

    Ye agree i think overall it has been a great tour. Agree would have been even better if jonas had been able to prepare properly and remco had a better balanced team - fingers crossed all 3 start next years in top form. Dont think pog would have been so far ahead if hadnt been for these...

    Tour de France predictions

    Ye he does look ominously good! interested to see how today goes, might suit jonas more? Think there are a couple more big mountain days end of next week. Seems like polka dot jersey is a bit pointless currently - Ciccone was exception last year but otherwise seems to usually end up with yellow...

    Tour de France predictions

    ye agree has been brilliant first week and yesterday was really interesting thinking ahead to the 2 massive weekend stages - jonas must fancy his chances of more stages and getting some time back on pog. also funny to see ineos still so out of the gc, wonder if they will be eyeing trying to sign...

    Tour de France predictions

    Ye also really enjoyed yesterdays stage. Watched through the day on ITV and there was so much happening, brilliant. Also kinda like it when the riders all look knackered and as if they have been on a real adventure at the end of the day, which the definitely did! Seems inevitable that Jonas is...

    Tour de France predictions

    Sounds ace! Ive moved hooses in majorca and new one seems to only have smart tv, trying to see if can get/ tune conventional tv for tour! First 2 stages were much better than I had thought might be. annoyingly discovery plus wont work over here :shrug:

    Tour de France predictions

    Ye from what can gather that group is growing so hopefully ok! guess also if peloton catch front group it may all slow down a bit.

    Tour de France predictions

    Ye difficult one to predict this one. i had wondered about yates or a one day specialist rather than a gc guy but who knows with pog! watching in spain so not able to follow the commentary re cav and what the time cut off is looking like. fingers crossed he holds on!

    Tour de France predictions

    Also really looking forward to the tour this year! Usually really enjoy Giro but struggled to get into it this year I think in part because pog was so dominant, did still enjoy seeing geraint going well. As sxrxg says the tour looks like it should be much more competitive with uncertainty...

    Exercise after Punch Biopsy

    not sure if exactly same thing as punch biopsy but i had a mole removed from my back, either over shoulder blade or between shoulder blade and spine, 10-15 years ago. too long ago to remember specifics but think it was pretty quick recovery and minimal disruption to activities - i suspect...

    Buying weights

    Thanks folks The mirafit looks good quality and has loads of different options for what to buy size and weight wise so looks ideal. Look to have options in standard 1 inch and one that is a little wider but will prob go with standard, like idea of it being straightforward to add to it over...

    Buying weights

    Hey Any recommendations for buying weights? I have been using a few set weight dumbbells (the rubbery ones) and have some very old york concrete weights ( :lol:) but needing a bit more and would like ability to add over time. For dumbbells are the iron plates best option? Any recommended...

    La Vuelta

    ah your right, just googled it, no highlights on ITV4. There is mention of an hour show on Quest at 7 as well as the eurosport, gcn etc.

    La Vuelta

    The vuelta is often a really good watch as is the last grand tour of season so lots of people go for it! I tend to watch a few of the bigger stages in full on eurosport (have as part of tv package). However, for majority of stages I watch the ITV4 highlights show which is usually pretty good...

    Cordless fans

    I am looking at getting an impact driver, fan and batteries in near future. Bit taken aback at cost :o Going with makita. Know the fan I want and assume that even the more basic impact drivers should be fine for me as it for general DIY stuff and homeboard. Is the idea with the batteries that...
