    Highly unlikely. Theres a big Time Trial in the middle of it and that's both of their weakest disciplines. The race is all so stacked with the best stage racing talent around, bar Alberto Contador. The big guns just haven't come to the fore yet but they should do once it reaches the higher mountains.

    Roche will end up working for Froome and Martin probably doesn't have the ability to stay with Froome, Quintana et al. However there is a great chance of an Irish stage win (today imo) and a top 10 overall which would be a great return.

    I was thinking Froome would be tired after the tour, seems today was telling, Dan Martin to win LA Vuelta

    Can't see Dan doing it, he tends to get sick or lose form later in grand tours, plus he doesn't have the time trialling ability. Quintana or Aru would be my bets... great to see Dan and Nico doing so well though. Nico might get more free rein now that Froome seems tired...

    Froome popped to some degree today, so there actually a chance Sky throw their considerable weight behind Roche now. Still a long shot but it's more likely than it was when I replied to you this morning! Roche actually nailed the time trial in the 2013 Vuelta so you never know.

    Dan has practically no support but he's riding class so why not. Another top 10 would be great. Aru or Majka for me though.

    I hate weddings! By my reckoning I've been to maybe 60 in the last 5 years, luckily not as a guest, so getting paid for the displeasure. In all the different venues and all the little ideas and touches to make them stand out, none do! In the end they're extremely expensive pissups, that revolve around the bar as much as the bride and groom.

    I was at a wedding a week ago, last one before that was mine in the late nineties, I avoid them like the plague.

    This one was quite pleasant, reg. office at 2, then dinner at 5:30, all over at 9.

    No band, or any nonsense.

    That's pretty good going avoiding being a guest for 15 years +, since I stopped drinking, I've only attended 2 as a guest, they're very long days and look completely different when you're not under the table lol

    Talent was quite OK there... But my missus said no! :)
    I cannot stress how much I detest c&w music. I managed a music store in Tralee many years ago at the time that fcker Garth Brooks made it big.... Jesus h Christ....I had to play it 6 hours a day 6 days of the week for a few months..... I wasn't a fan of C&w before then, but that nailed it for me ....and when the wedding band start with wagon wheel, that's it, I'm off!

    Sean Fitzpatrick's trial adjourned until May 2016 but not halted, court rules.

    Mr Justice Michael Moriarty this afternoon ruled that the retired bankers trial should be put back by just over seven months to May 2016 because of adverse media publicity about Mr FitzPatrick.

    ****in Hell!

    This is just making it, the publicity, worse!

    Crazy stuff, which I can't understand.
