Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Professional cycling has it's detractors as a result of the past indiscretions with performance enhancing drugs but those guys are tough.

I do not think therefore I do not am.

100% agree - to do over 70mph down a mountain on wheels around 1cm wide is insane, but great viewing.
Fingers crossed G can hold it together for the time trial!

That was amazing from Gilbert!
Nibali broke a vertebra and then there's this guy who broke his shoulder blade on stage ONE and finished the race, coming in last, to raise over $150,000 for charity.
