Full 3 hours tonight and tomorrow and Friday on Eurosport. I think BBC is having an hour each night but you can watch the full programme of events on your red button, but don't quote me on that.

Never mind Sean I'm sure Miss Pendleton will be thinking of you as she races. :D

You missed her on A Question of Sport the other day, as well. Mind you, so did I.

The new TCR's are nice, as other manufacturers have starting throwing lumps and waves in to their frames that new Giant just looks classy. Full Record and Boras yes please, special livery - No thanks, I imagine it looks a bit naff with a load of graphics all over it. A bit out of my price range but if you can knock 'em down six grand I'll take it and get it resprayed. :D

Not Marco, but I'll have a go at this.

Well, *obviously* he was dehydrated.
Or maybe he's been lying and the much touted BC [url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/article3613701.ece]regular checks[/url] didn't pick up on it.

Don't think Hayles rides for a Pro team anymore, think he concentrates on the track?

Though I know a few of the guys ride for Landboukredit, so maybe he rides for them too?

Think we must remember that its not a positive test, its a 0.3% rise over the 50% limit. So not excatly massive, maybe he has a naturally high haematocrit level anyway...

He rode as a solo last year for Parker International as a UK based rider.

How much is 0.3% in one of these tests?
Should be easy to see if he's previously always had a high reading / naturally high level.

I wonder if they'll release Hayles' recent blood test history? They take tests 4 times per year (apparently), so there must be a test within the last 3 months. I wonder what the HCr level was in that test?

Regarding the iplayer and such stuff (technical term) - which i haven't used yet - I heard this morning, that a lot of people were being charged extra money by their internet provider, as they didn't realise their contract had a maximum size of downloadable stuff (technical term) allowed.
