Once again it's time for best sport on two wheels.

Is it me or have crashes become more and more frequent the last years? It seems the last 10km or so always seem so nervous these days, it's every tour we lose some of the favourites on the flat boring first stages.

My prediction for victory: Hoffmann-LaRoche before GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis.

I made a bet with myself before posting, when would the first doping joke appear? I had the first reply down, so now I win a cup of coffee.

Ok, that was mean. After all, Pfizer might well be in the top three.

Also, no matter what he uses, the fact that Tony Martin is riding the 2nd stage is insane.

"He was diagnosed with a concussion and contusion on his left lung. There was also tissue damage on his hip, left knee, shoulder and back."

These recent years have been full of annoying crashes taking out the favourites before the mountains. This year Van den Broeck and now Brajkovich has crashed. Are today's riders just less skilful?

Can't take this sport seriously after the past few years.
