Rubbish. So if you were in Team Sky, you would win? Have you seen those mountain stages? "Sir" Bradley Wiggins!

Only because their parents happened to be there when they were born. I was born in Warwickshire hospital but have always lived in Northants therefore I am a Northants native.

Do you know what "Nemesis" means?
A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent personified in this case by a sex starved voyeur that is Tyro.

I was referring to Wiggins and Froome. Since found out that Froome is Kenyan with British grandparents. |

You'll mean Dieter Senft:  He's not there this year, as he's recovering from surgery, but it is the first he's missed since 1993. He also has his own bike:  |

Good bit of sportsmanship today from Wiggo and Team Sky, various riders including reigning champion and current fourth place Cadel Evans got punctures as a result of carpet tacks being placedon the road. Despite the obvious advantages of riding off at high speed, Wiggo, as race leader, slowed the peleton down until Evans got back to them, with his whole team pulling together to help him out.
Good old British sportsmanship. We can still show Johnny Foreigner a thing or two about fair play despite the Terrys and Ferdinands of this world.

Born in Belgium? Bit of a mongrel. He will be British though when/if he wins overall.  |

Oi Colonel, are you letting the facts get in the way of a good story! Lets say he is upholding fine traditions. (If he put the tacks there in the first place, he is certainly upholding the fine traditions of the early years of the TdF - typical French sportsmanship.) |
