    The year Jan rode into the ditch is the first time I saw the TDF on television.

    Surprised they dint show the clip of Joseba Beloki on the descent in the TdF 2004 when he and Lance were out front and Lance ended up going 'cross for almost 100 m before rejoining the road *after* a hairpin bend.
    Recognised a lot of them, actually.

    All you need is love...la-dee-da-dee-da...all you need is love!
