I have also made a timetable showing when all 21 stages are expected to start and finish, plus when there is 50 km to go, to help you plan your #TourdeFrance watching🇫🇷💛📺

The times are based on the fastest estimates, so riders may go slower-or even faster!🚴💨

Finally, a PhD day fuelled by coffee. The last few months have been chaos with life, teaching, assessing and consultancy. Nice to find a quiet corner and focus on getting my PhD complete in the coming months 📚

Would anyone be interested in my C63 estate? 2010, ~95k, PP edition (different brakes, some carbon bits etc) for £14k?
Obviously that's minimal detail as I could go on for days about the work I've done to it etc

How accurate and precise are handheld blood lactate analyzers?

We recently evaluated four commonly used devices.

The results may surprise you...
