Must be getting old - left leg not working properly - think is probably a dead leg so have now strapped it up and applying copious amounts of deep heat to it, plus elevating when given a chance etc. - therefore no real mileage to speak of for the past week.
Have also managed to twist my left shoulder over night which is literally a real pain - creak creak...snap!
C2C Sponsor money is creeping towards £900 which is excellent and a planning meeting is set for the "its the width that counts" ride this weekend.
anyway onto other news and unless you live your life in a vacuum, you will know that the TDF starts on Saturday, with a hilly prologue around Monaco, - great chance for the GC contenders to flex their muscles from the off.
As for a prediction, I will go for Contador to take the stage on Saturday, and also for the Yellow Jersey overall, as for the other two podium places to be Andy Schleck and "a n other" from Astana. Astana will take the team prize and again Schleck for the White Jersey. Green Jersey has to be Cav. For the team time trial i am going to plump for Garmin-Slipstream, to avenge their defeat by Columbioa in the Giro - but it will be desperately close between those two. Other predictions for the ITT and Mont Ventoux stage to be announced once the race is under way.
My heart would love to see LA do it for an unprecedented 8th time, and there is no way he can be ruled out - expect a few non-pc attacks and a stage win or two if nothing else.
Coverage begins 4.30pm ITV4 and then its on every evening for three weeks - can life get any better?
