Least stylish has to be Lance Armstrong always doing something different. Style is not wearing a different kit or a different bike from the rest of your team.

Most stylish has to be cipo.. certainly one for ladies.

Here's the rules of style for you -- -- http://cozybeehive.blogspot.com/2008/04/official-rules-of-euro-cyclist.html

Worst team -- Liquigas -- have done nothing.

Best team -- Newbies Cervelo

I liked that when David asked Sean Kelly about stylish riders, Sean could only think in terms of cycling style and not fashion style, which was the original question. Funny.

"he has a very nice pedaling style"

"I'm not sure that's what he meant Sean"

although if it gets as competitive as 'tractor' i want out. (or 'tricta' as the kiwi version is known )

Okay -- Lets try and get them to say 'Tractor' in the context of cycling.

Ask them if they are aware of where the turn for the track is?

What were the final scores from Tractor again??

Tractor:

Not a tractor:

GAME ON!

Double points if Kelly says it.

scottreynolds

Here's my latest attempt

There's was a mention of some fighting in the peleton on twitter -- a punch. Is this normal when via for a position in the peleton or do some peple act like they are driving tractors.

and next one

Can Sean elaborate on sprinting. It appeared yesterday that Cav got delivered on the line rather than outsprinted people. Its like he's drives a tractor.

Also, can you explain the green jersey... we always thought it was for the sprinters not the most consistent rider.

Scott Reynolds - Ireland

Sean/David, read out my email, or the Orbea gets it!

THATS BRILLIANT ---- CAV A tractor. Sean Kelly said Bulldozer -- not tractor so not quite there yet

Hermy

Just listening to that now.
Surprised he didn't say 'Which one are you?':D

Chips Lovell

Ah, but Harmon said tractor.

Someone explain to me this tractor game?

It's easy, you play with a supposed country girl while driving and end up winning without effort. It's no so much a game as it is shooting fish in a barrel.

sorry scotty....you lose a point for a bulldozer! it's one of the many minefields of tractor.

Tractor is a driving game to pass the time when things are boring. we play it often in N.Z. I was suprised to hear that TEAM VOODOO were playing it on the way down from Dublin.

Your harsh -- that was a brilliant. I can't believe you have so much time on your hands.... I thought you'd be chatting to the Accounting Administrators?

scottreynolds

GAME

WEll -- Every day during the TdF we should have a word of the day challenge ...

1 point for your name and another 1 point for the word of the day. Only the first person gets it and it must be verified.

Oooh, low blow! Maybe an interactive tractor channel would be a good move? Have images flash up every second, red button if it's a tractor (trickta for the kiwis in the audience).

I tried again to get Sean to say tractor emailing tham saying that a bulldozer is not a tractor.

1 point for a tractor
a bonus point if the tractor is your designated colour (red, green and blue are recommended, i think astramonti chose purple, tractors are obviously available in more diverse colour schemes in the mediterranean countries)
a bonus point if it's at work in a field
5 if it's a tractor yard
minus one point if it turns out it's digger

Sounds simple now but just wait till it turns all competitive (u know who u are dirkvoodoo....)

Natural ability will always shine through. I'm from Dublin, I shouldn't even know what a tractor looks like. What's your excuse??

I hope you don't think you posted a picture of a digger

Yeah Dirk, I heard you were calling Tractor for 4-wheel drives... but they let you away with it since they are 'Foxrock Tractors'

LDB

Ha! cool, something extra to look forward to while watching the recording later.

Does the Brown Thomas car park count as a Tractor yard so?

Apparently Lamborghini make tractors too, I think. A friend of mine from Leitrim told me.

Raam

Played a quick game yesterday where you had to guess within how many words Sean will say "certainly" from when he comes on air.

I guessed 20. It was 3.

DirkVoodoo

Someone ask Sean does he know the rules of tractor, test his country-ness!

LDB and myself saw some in the Pyrenees. Cool looking yokes!

Please come up witha list of words for the next 20 days... Something random but potentially possible in the realms of cycling. 'Tractor' was vague enough. Once e have the list I'll post up a thread with the rules of the game .... and the words
