Alongside B.Hinault and P.Albert on the podium, was indeed F.Alonso, E.Mercxx, A.N.Other, and S.Roche.

"...and frankly i couldnt care less. I think it is just a waste of time..."

A bit like your comment No.7, about something you couldn't care less about?

And football, rugby, and boxing aren't? How often do they get tested?

I watch the Toure for the scenic beauty it captures as it moves through the pastoral bonanza owned by France, Belgium, Germany and Spain.

Doesn't this mean Bradley should be in the points jersey tomorrow?

Fabian will be in yellow, obviously, and second place normally takes the green, does he not? However, Bertie is first in the KOM classification so he'll be in polka - should mean Bradley's in green.

Ha! Much as I admire him, I would never, ever have predicted Wiggins wearing green! I so hope that happens!

"Pity BBC breakfast news sports monkey didn't even know it was starting today"

And on this website, the stage 1 results show the top 10. Then selected others. Sastre. Wegelius and Cavendish. So we don't care about Millar on a UK site? And Cavendish races under a GB license, not an IOM one.

What I really love is the audio clip on that article where when asked his ambitions for the Tour, Wiggins says to win the Tour, and that he wants to be in yellow after Montpellier.
a) that would be amazing, & although he'd have to fight Canc for it, it's possible
b) this un-British attitude of ambition backed up by real talent is so refreshing!

That's funny, the Dutch Eurosport guys (who know very little about cycling, I admit) were just describing Wiggo as the 'laziest guy in the peloton'

I'm watching live coverage of stage 2 already by the way. Wiggins looks weird in green, and his shorts really don't match.

Cracking result yesterday - even got a metion on BBC news - well done Beeb - keep it up!

No7 - use that well known caution about men in glasshouses and throwing of stones!
