I have watched hours of this years Tour live and the highlights progs on an evening.But i have yet to see Mr Didi Senft.
Is he around,anyone seen him,just asking.

There was a brief glimpse of him on stage 2 (and Chris Froome) I think and the commentator mentioned that since he signed up to advertise a certain product the TV cameras had made efforts not to include any shots of him.

He was at the Tour of Austria. Maybe he got lost on the way, or maybe his sponsors don't want him at the Tour this year in case he gets targeted by the testers?

Yes, my only glimpse was on Stage 2. Sad, I always smiled when he was in shot.

He was in hospital last year I think after a brain operation, glad he seems to have recovered. Lu and I met him in Grindlewald on the Tour de Suisse. Thoroughly nice bloke.

Yep, since he got his sponsorship he tends to have become less of a feature than when he was an unsponsored nutjob.

I find his presence a pain in the ar$e. Long past his sell by date.

Now tonights highlights saw Ned cycling alone up the climb,and guess what,we saw a van which had the Devil on it,not him but his camper.

Maybe his sponsors need to sign up with the Tour organisers? After all there's plenty of advertising about in the Tour (that's what it's for!).
