My mate Jonny

What a day's racing. Adieu Lance, it's time to move on. As for Andy - Schlecktastic, can we dream of yellow? Anyway, high on the altitude of it all I logged on to facebook to see if I had any friends and low and behold there was Jonny on chat (Jonny to me, Mr Bellis to you mortals). At this point I should confess that I have been trying to collect cyclists as friends and have had moderate success which I will try and tap into for future posts. Well, thinks I, no time like the present to have any impromptu bit of 'pro talk' and this is how it went (with what I was thinking in brackets -

5:01pm Me
what a stage!! au revoir Lance - but a shame about Wiggo (READ AS - 'Hello Jonny, please talk to me)

5:02pm Jonny
yep, didn't think wiggins would do anything like he did last year so no surprise there

5:03pm Me
no, but 8 minutes? to be honest he has looked miserable the whole week. Should have been a DS this year (READ AS - my God he's answered me and I need to keep this going - throw in a little pro talk like DS and he'll think I'm a pro too!)

5:04pm Jonny
yeh, oh well.. still a chance for a stage win

5:06pm Me
mmmm.....doubtful in my opinion. too many good riders and I don't think he has got the legs for the mountains anymore, unlike your team mate - classy ride (READ AS - err, I'm still talking about Lance here)

5:07pm Jonny
yes i know that.. there is always the breakaways or tt `s

5:08pm Me
we'll see . hope the next two weeks are as good as this one. hope you are continuing to get stronger too. have a good evening (READ AS - look mate , if you won't talk about Lances 'defaillance' I'm off - futurestar is getting fussy and I simply don't have the time to talk at cross purposes)

5:09pm Jonny
yep we will.. cheers (READ AS - is this the royal we?)

Anyway, hopefully we'll chat again and be on the same page but I did notice that he hasn't put anything on his blog about me - maybe next time?
