A couple thoughts about Stage 2

I'm not much of a fan of riders wearing the all yellow race kit or bikes when they take the lead of the race. I give Cancellara some credit for wearing the normal Saxo Bank shorts today.

What was disturbing was the bike Cancellara rode. You would think Specialized would have painted the bike a proper yellow. Do it right if you are going to do it.

Phil and Paul Quote of the Day: When talking about Bernard Hinault riding headlong into a worker's demonstration back in his racing days, Phil (I think it was Phil) said "He was a bit of a nutter"

Excellent!

...and what was it that Paul called Bernie? It wasn't Badger, but something else I couldn't understand.
