    I noticed, and thought the same... very disappointing... Cocaine obviously damages the Euro brain

    .. Maybe it's the anti Euro effect of the peloton. We all want to be more euro, well, they all want to be more Fred ...

    mine go under my straps, and in this weather my skull cap too, but unlike Boonen and co. I'm not advertising to all and sundrie, I just like to keep mine secure..........had them fall off before on a climb,and I wasn't stopping, cos I was hurtin'

    Of course it does also prove what a yawnfest the Tour of Qatar is that I'd notice something like this!...Eurosport showed an hour of 'highlights' on Monday and reduced it to 30mins last night and for once I wasn't complaining...Sand, sand, more sand and then a sprint finish :confused:

    If it wasn't for the fact that its good for seeing early season form of some of the pro's and new kit etc I definately wouldn't be switching on

    You should have tried watching the hour and a half Live coverage today then. Was worth the wait though to see Cavendish having a strop when he couldn't find his helper at the end of the stage, with all the Worlds media in his face.

    Folks, we're missing a major point here. Tom Boonen has never been tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. He managed to get caught with cocaine after a car crash. But who hasn't done something stupid in their youth??
    He's a top class sprinter and cyclist. Give him a break.
