Stokesy spilling the beans, http://video.mpora.com/watch/6bwsxyI61/ extra funky acting by the stunt double !

Just like that Eric Cantonna fella from a while back, Surftwisted pedal nutter, Menchov D, who hasn’t even met Lance Armstrong before, is still able to somehow psych himself up for the final few days of the 2008 Tour de France, “I’ve been peddle peddle peddle for ages now………….”.

Way down south, in deepest, funky Kernow, sleeps “Mad Dog Hill”. Its name, steeped in ancient history, evokes tales of rituals and gay abandon ? A  direct translation from Cornish into English,  ”there arent many straight lines on a skateboard” probably explains why so many people are drawn back to this place, year after year.

This never ending flat spell, maybe its a blessing in disguise, because at least you get to follow the tour again, and you really know it, those guys are HARD AS !

today brought a 3rd stage win for Mark Cavendish from the Isle of Man, but riding for some Yank outfit. Then there was a positive EPO test for a guy called Ricco, before the start of stage 12, so his team decided “one out, all out“, and they withdrew themselves, after thousands of kilometers and nearly 50 hours of racing ! But what happened to the old Devil guy that used to leap about and jump whenever a bicycle came within 20 feet of him ?
