Really pleased for Porte after his win in Paris-Nice at the weekend. Last year he worked his a**e off, along with Michael Rodgers, in the service of Sir Wiggo and was a major factor in said Wiggo winning the T de F. Good to see that all the dedication and hard-work CAN be rewarded with a significant victory for his own palmares. Chapeau Porte, me old sport!

    Watched the final stage last night & was impressed good to see the team looking to branch out further this year, lets hop they give it some in lots of races this year.
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Someone in the Spolier Police needs to talk to Sky Sports News. They never cared about races like PN and TA before, now they're winning it they shout it from the rooftops

    Nah, someone was complaining last year about a post mentioning Merckx had taken his 5th Tour win in 1974 :wink:

    *SPOILER* And Norman Bates' mother is Norman in drag; Luke is Leia's sister and Darth Vader is his father; Keyser Soze is Kint; Planet of the Apes if actually the Earth; Bruce Willis is a dead person; and Lance Armstrong was doping.*SPOILER*

    Have I covered them all?

    She...She...She does? I haven't seen it!

    Only joking. She was bit of a wet wipe about it too. For the head of Mi6 she was an awful shot.

    I now have Adele crooning 'when the sky falls' as an ear worm. :evil: :wink:

    It's what happens when you give a woman an important job. At least now they have Voldemort who doesn't need weapons. Right, I'm off into hiding now!

    Benedict Cumberbatch hangs about in a graveyard having faked his own death? Oh sorry wrong franchise.

    As for Voldemort, pah! I see his magic wizard powers and I raise you dragons.

    Anyway back to the cycling... Does Antonio Ricci ever find his bike? I've never seen the end.

    By your immortally high standards this is a woeful attempt at mental disintegration. As Yoda was fond of saying backstage, "break me a farquing give"

    They don't call him the Miss Moneypenny of Welsh Hockey for nothing. Or at all.
