Hi Nuthatch. As you can tell I'm not an Armstrong fan. I don't think he's the best rider 'ever', but I do respect his committment and dedication. Afterall, no one would ever get 6 TdF wins without being something special.

As far as Paris-Nice goes - just about to switch on to British Eurosport. The stage yesterday and today is being cut short due to snow, which is ironic since this race is know as the Race to the Sun!

In the opening TT on Sunday Armstrong came 100 and something, mainly because he'd only been back in Europe for 2 days and still had some jet lag. He's also been making it clear he's just riding this event to get some race miles in his legs.

Still getting used to seeing the Disco boys in their new kit.
