It’s soaking in most of a can of GT85 and I made an entirely manly trip to a hardware shop local to work and have bought a jolly big bolt along with two big plates or washers and ten nuts. All this set me back about £3 and reminds me why it’s always good to go to a hardware shop. This should hold the bottom bracket tool in place and let me give it a good wrenching.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.
With that out of the way there were two new videos around Danny MacAskill’s Imaginate project that came out this week. Both show a bit of the behind the scenes detail of the shoot and, if anything, make it more impressive and interesting than the final edit.
One is full of shots from Danny’s point of view using a Go Pro:
While the second sums up the series that led up to the film.
Yesterday’s Tour stage was a Team Time Trial back in France and, with their power in the discipline, Garmin Sharp were hoping to put Dave Millar into the yellow jersey. Unfortunately that wasn’t to be, as a storming ride from Omega-Pharma Quick-Step set the early pace and Garmin finished a long 13 seconds behind them. Sky came in just two seconds slower than OPQS, a solid position for Froome and hugely impressive for the fractured Geraint Thomas, who stayed with the other eight until the last kilometre.
The next shake up came in the shape of the team providing the most finish line drama so far this Tour, as Orica Green-Edge went a second faster than OPQS, putting Monday’s winner, Gerrans in yellow on the road.
Only BMC and Radioshack could change that and neither really came close, giving the Australian team a yellow jersey to add to their first two Tour stage wins.
