    Just tried the link again norder, still says Under Maintenance for me. No problem though, I have no more interest in this company than you do, except the idle curiosity of wondering just who and what our shirt sponsors are.

    Just a quick explanation of where I'm coming from on gambling. For many years, if I had a free Saturday I had two options, if Burnley were at home or playing locally I would go to the game, if not I'd spend the afternoon in the bookies. Most times an afternoon in the bookies was by far the most enjoyable experience of the two, as we floundered in the lower divisions, but that's another story. From a financial aspect, if it was the footy I would cough up my tenner at the turnstile and wave bye bye to it, I would never see it again, gone, £10 down on the day. Or I took the same tenner to the bookies, on a bad day I might wave bye bye to my tenner there as well, more often I would leave with some of it intact, sometimes I would leave with more than my tenner, sometimes considerably more, but whatever, from a financial aspect, the bookies was a much better proposition than Turf Moor.

    However, when I told friends, family or neighbours that I'd been in the bookies all afternoon, I would get funny, disapproving looks, raised eyebrows, if I told them I'd been to a football match this was accepted as a perfectly normal, rational way to spend an afternoon.

    Given the evidence of my wallet, I always did, and still do, find this illogical.

    Also illogical is Landa going to Movistar as a domo for Quintana, that was the very situation he wanted to escape from at Sky, and there is no doubt he considers himself a potential Tour winner. Maybe Quintana thinks he's still the number 1, maybe Movistar have told him he's still the number 1, but the management of a Spanish cycling team can be even more cynical than your average Colombian footballer. My money's on Landa.
