Sorry to hear about your crash mate! I'm a firm believer of letting the wound dry first. When it is dry then you can apply cream to it. Give the skin some rest.

Yesterday on col de l'Arpettaz

At the summit I ran into snow and had to turn around (it's late May, and the col is only about 1500m or so!)

Col de l'Aulp (last 2 km unpaved, and steep)

Image

Ran into traffic on col de l'Epine

All this is south-east of lake Annecy

Froome and Porte on my uni campus today doing wind tunnel tests - me (to Froomes left) and a mate were out riding after exams, got news they were on campus and so smashed it back. Interesting comment from Porte when we were chatting about contador is that 'he is breathing normally now...he never used to breathe'' :lol:

Thanks Basilic. Not really got any photos from the departmental championship. Going to have to wait for the regional champs in a couple of weeks.

Edit: found some - just needed a bit of motivation to look for them :)

Looks like you've been enjoying your FM066 more than your Orca. Makes me wanna buy one if it is that gooood.
