Hhhmmm same as I know virtually 0 about the sport but it looks like Wiggins is just covering Evans in any stage and waiting for the time trials to put more time on him. Evans will really need some big efforts over them thar' hills to win this one. Again this race just highlights what an amazing rider Evans is, as soon as it gets a little vertical he is on his own where as Wiggins and in pervious years teams have attacked him while he is on his own. Champion. -
Is there any apps I can download as I am going to be out to dinner and drinks most of the night but am desperate to at least keep track of this stage...

TV Series: Blue Murder - Older Aussie series about the NSW Police force, corruption in 80's. The Wire - Everyone knows about this by now, Baltimore Police series, one of the best shows ever made as it shows everyone in a real light not this holier than thou Police are 100% angles/crooks are all bad/politicians are there for the good of the people they represent.. Deadwood - Western based series, classic. Heaps of swearing and it just stops but great while it lasted. Generation Kill - Same guy who wrote The Wire, about a Rolling Stones journo embedded with a Recon Marine unit in the Iraqi invasion. Boardwalk Empire - Prohibition in the USA, mainly based around Atlantic City. Louie - Louis CK latest TV series, so dark, so twisted, so funny. Movies: Gomorrah - Italian mafia movie set in Italy Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - 90's movie about a murder in Savannah Georgia with Cusak, Spacey and our very own Jack Thompson Hersher - Natalie Portman. Loud music, porno and burning sh !t are a few of Hersher' fav things... Hersher takes up residence in a poor familys garage uninvited... BRONSON - about a UK crook who got 7 years for armed robbery, still in jail 25 years later.

Did see the doco and loved it. Confirmed even further what an epic EPIC effort it was from Evans last year. Seeing the 2 Shleck's working together to try and break him, that stage where Andy got away and was up by i think 4 mins but for Evans to fight back to bring it down to 2 mins was AMAZING! Yea that was interesting to see, the Sky team is solely looking for a Wiggins Tour win so to see that on day 1, but in saying that it is a 3 weeks race so it could go either way for Wigg. Cav what a freak!
-
Yea Prophet is a cracker as well.

La Haine is a cracking fench film, Idiot box good aussie movie if you can find it too
-
The team is struggling for cash too with bank loan issues and the NHL potentially looking to take it off the owners hands.

Syd 12 yr contract... I'm sure it is full of step clauses and potential buy outs before the 12 yrs is over but wow. "The Penguins and their superstar center agreed to a 12-year, $104.4 million contract Thursday that will keep Sid the Kid in a black sweater until he's Sid the Old Man."

http://www.theage.co...0629-21653.html Wiggins is confident as he should be how he is racing and the team around him. Bring on Sat nigth!!!
-
Smokey you say??? As I've said I really love watching the event but every time a smokey comes out there is the thought of uh-oh what is he on. But no I did not see that one, massive turn around, 10mins!
-
Haha I have never understood the "politics" in the peleton they seem like a bunch of chemical children.
-
After I read the Wiggins article I actually started to go through in Wiki the winners and the guys caught and there is very few "clean" winners in what seems like a long time....

Reading the 1st part about Cadel from last year gives me tingles! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/tour-de-france/9342340/Tour-de-France-2012-Bradley-Wiggins-takes-inspiration-from-Cadel-Evans-as-Team-Sky-leader-eyes-British-first.html

you say funny thing
-
appealing.......... like he did last year and got to ride but was subsequesntly banned and stripped of titles. I hope not again.
-
Yea it just seemed everything was perfect for him last year, especially with Contador being injured (don't get me started on him being able to riding at all especially considering he was stripped of the 2010 title later in the year) and this year it seems he has had a slow start to his training then illness. Will be interguing to see how he goes, we all know he is a competitor but with things not going as well as hoped on how he reacts. It will be interesting to see who steps out into the limelight without Andy, Contador and Cadel not having great prep....
-
IRW same thoughts as you, for some reason I love the TDF. I think the majority of them are drug cheats, play politics and a lot of the time not about the best rider but team yet I love to watch it. My fiance hates this time of year..... Cadel seemed to have the perfect year last year, this year has been all over the shop and with his health that seems to have set him back. No Andy Schelk? He injured?
-
Kings smashed out the final game in commanding fashion, good for them (booooo!!!) they were clearly the best team of the play offs and got the chocolates on home ice! No more hockey for a while which sucks at it took some of my attention from the Dees..
-
Devs do it 2-1! Marty B stopping 25 shots.
-
Macca fingers crossed!! Sitting in the country with no foxtel refreshing CNNSI every 5 seconds! Celts up by 1 over Heat... can they hang on too!!!
-
-
Would be great to see the Celts vs Okies in the finals. I detest the Okies and I was a mad Sonics fan and f ing hate Clay and his cronies but in sayin gthat Kevin Durant is such a brilliant player to watch. The last tilt at a title for KG, Ray Ray and Pierce vs the youngsters and LeBron I just can not like.
-
Since the 1st round/start of 2nd rnd it has been a really good clean playoffs and thats been good to see. Anyways here's a good run down: http://deadspin.com/5914617/how-the-kings-toughened-up-and-conquered-the-nhl

Wowsa! Best team by a long long way. Best goalie performance you'll possibly ever see. 2 man advantage for the Devs and could not get a shotpast Quick... dominance. Going to miss the hockey!!
