Stage 16 - As It Happens

Cycling: Tour de France: The Astana team are gone, but we're still here. Follow today's brutal mountain stage from noon.
Barry Glendenning's having his daily pre-stage blood transfusion at the moment, but he should be finished by noon (or when his legs and arms mysteriously morph into wheels and handlebars - whichever happens first). In the meantime, why not catch up on the latest scandal to hit the Tour de France here, then read what English cyclist Bradley Wiggins has to say about it here. You're more than welcome to peruse our excellent interactive guide to the Tour.

Alternatively, you might want to read this extract from We Don't Know What We're Doing by MOTD2 and The One Show presenter Adrian Chiles. To order a copy for a quid less than it costs in the shops and free UK p&p, go to the Guardian Bookshop.

If you haven't got £11.99 to spare, sign up for our The Fiver and The Spin - they don't talk in Black Country accents and they're free of charge.

Finally, the golf fans among you might like this interesting feature by Lawrence Donegan on swing coach Bob Torrance.
