I should have added a marmotte to my I Spy list.
We had Richard Virenque on Dutch Eurosport. Frenchie might have something to say about his tattoos. :shock:
I should have added, 'drug addled French twunt' to my list.
Frenchie may be a lot of things, but there is no evidence he doped.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
I'm getting excited for my holiday! I love this part of France.

Those tree covered hills and clear blue skies... very much how I remember it.

Breakaway down to 5:45 at the intermediate sprint. They'll be caught on the Pailheres.0

I would like to apologise for my lousy calculations earlier. I looked at the Tour Tracker to see how long there was to go and didn't realise it was in imperial, not metric. (90mi to go at the time, not 90km)RichN95 wrote:
It's about 65km away so about an hour and a half - around 1.30, maybe a bit later.

If TJVG has to wait for Evans today I will be very annoyed.0

About another 30–40 minutes before the climb. They're in the gorge running towards it now.0

Where the hell is Harmon? Not only do we have to listen to Kirby all day today but we've got this other idiot doing his job... :evil:0

nice shots of a castle (scrolls back up to ATC's check list)....
right, have to take the kids out now, and succumb to the daily routine of avoiding the web until after tea then watching the whole stage and then catching up with the shizzle on here...0 -
Lots of castles around these parts. This was Cathar country and almost every hill top had a castle. Some of them beggar belief as to how they built them and the sheer logistics of having to haul water and supplies up from the valleys below.
I didn't add castles to my list as there are so many of them, it is too easy.
I know these roads quite well and will be riding them again in just over a month. Very excited! Correlation is not causation.0 -
Sean Yates has no shame - just heard him plug his new book.....you will have to wait for the answer when it comes out. right better fast forward to the action.0

Greipel on domestique duty again today.0

ITV 4 is comedy with Phil and Steve doing the 50/50 US/British broadcast:
"You don't want to blow your engine in the first half of the Indy 500" Terrific, bike racing explained!
So, how many football fields long is today's stage?When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0 -
About 10km to go to the Port de Pailhères.
Breakaway 3:55 up. Reckon they'll start the climb with about a 2min gap.0 -

Is "Team" Sherwin calling every squad with TEAM in front of it. The Chuckle Brother's still spouting the same shyte.... at least Alan Partridge's tour commentary is Funny.0 -
I think this is Gesse the peloton have just gone through. About 10k until they hit the climb proper.Correlation is not causation.0

Evans has shown more form recently, so I don't think it is likely.
I agree with your sentiment though.0 -
Did Carlton really just say that commercial aircraft operate below 2,000m? :shock:
Well d'uh. They do have to land, often at sea level and if its Schiphol, below sea level. Honestly Carlton. Correlation is not causation.0 -
Peloton are absolutely gassing it here. What the heck are Belkin doing up there?!"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
