If you, like me, have looked at those new Giro helmets and shaken your head (I keep seeing the pigs in Angry Birds), you might be interested in this video.
The Air Attack helmet is the latest in a long line of weird looking lids. From tear drop shaped to light bulbs, it seems nothing is to out there in helmet design.

Tony Martin has had two days in the MerJer, but he relinquished it last night to a man that got a wonky waffle and had a case of the breakaways from the back door and couldn’t contest the sprint. Despite one half of the Shergett Duo claiming it was “Tour de France nerves”, Kittel spells it wonderfully in this tweet.
Golden rule for me today: Never trust a fart… -.- I’m happy that I finished the race. But last night has taken its toll so no sprint 2day.

For that, NPC would like to congratulate Marcel Kittel on receiving the MerJer. Lets hope the flow of brun stops before stage 3.
The MerJer Winner Stage 2. Marcel Kittel.
What a beast he is!
Cavendish just pips Greipel and Goss
“When I’m kind of a bonus rider, I just have to be plucky, you know?” – MarkCavendish in post race interview.
Well according to Dodger…
Prior to the start all the teams agreed that leading team in team classification should wear yellow helmets! #tdf

Surely a different colour would have been made sense. To me it takes something away from the yellow jersey.
STAY OFF THE BLOODY ROADS!
Have a look at this goose from last nights stage.

The best thing is if you watch the video back again, another spectator rips into him. Excellent.
The crash didn’t do any huge damage, unlike this one in the video below.
So please, to those lucky enough to be standing by the road, stay out of the way!

Cocky as a rooster!
How time flies. This little corner of the interwebs turns 1 today. It all started last year as a Tour de France Challenge, that I failed miserably.
This time last year
One year and nearly 30,000 visits later, the blog has grown and is getting more visits each month. A big thank you to all that visit and comment, it has been great fun. Hopefully it is still going strong this time next year. Special thanks to regular visitors like Lewy, Duke, Dave and Sam. Also, to the celebrities that have supported the blog, Mike Tomalaris, John Galloway and Rob Arnold. It is great to see you all coming back to see what is going on.
This one was easy. Poor old Tony Martin punctured about halfway through.
Oh No!
For that, he takes the MerJer for today.
