TdF 2012 (may contain spoilers)

[quote="Grahame"]Two hissy fits in two days from Wiggins (Cameraman who got in his way on Saturday, Journalist who dared to ask about doping on Sunday).

Am I alone in becoming less impressed with the man as an ambassador for our sport?

Storming ride from van Garderen!!! So close... Froome is going even better

'Sticks' is wearing a golden yellow skinsuit - apparently they had difficulty finding one skinny enough

Nice to be at home watching it...

If you're stuck in an office, there is live data on the internets. Allegedly.

There is an upside to everything, even redundancy OTHG tomorrow - just please let it be dry...

[Phil H]

Says "showers" for tomorrow. Better than Sunday then. If it was dry then Tom was thinking of making his Palace debut.

Awesome TT'ing from the boys today. If they can hold it together, Froome looks like a shoe-in for 2nd (and would be already were it not for a puncture).

I notice that the BBC news website has some Scottish loser on the front page but not Brad. Hmm.

Sod all this cycling gubbins, I was astounded to see Wiggins in black socks today. When I rode regularly with ACC I, and doubtless others too, were roundly criticised by the ACC fashion police for wearing black socks. So whassup - is it now OK, or do we make an exception for the man in yellow?

They make me cringe, especially pulled up a la Lance Armstrong

[Jon C C on a Bianchi]

Wow!!! Absolutely brilliant ride by both Wiggo and Froome. Makes up for yesterday. GB 2 Switzerland 1.

Great TTs . Oversocks not socks but still no excuse for the colour.

[Phil H]

The news seems to have hit the Today Programme. Can we look forward to a Wiggins/Humphrys interview? Will it make James Naughtie introducing the culture secretary seem like nothing?

I tend to agree with Phil and Grahame here, and "People can't accept that it's possible with hard work alone/what else can we do to prove it" doesn't seem a fair thing to say given (a) how many times 'hard work alone' has turned out to be a lie (b) it is certainly possible for Sky to be more transparent and have a more selective hiring process for their team doctors.

fair enough. BTW i didn't intend to cast particular aspersions in Sky's direction, more explain why i thought Wiggins' outburst was unwarranted.
