So why ten laps, especially? What's wrong with five?

It's so that everyone from all over the world who has made the effort to go to Paris to watch this feel like the trip was a great experience and well worthwhile.

Give me more

Apparently Cav got a flat?

As long as it has Snails in it like it often does (the Paella not the Champagne)

A Matt Goss sprint win is also Hoighly Unloikly though Sean...

Agreed. Snails and Rabbit is best version for me

WILL YOU SHUT UP ABOUT MATT GOSS!

No OGE were not putting the hurt on at the front of the bunch when Cav has a puncture to try and "set something up for Matt Goss". There are 8 laps to go.

Carlton definitely gets a bung for every time he mentions Goss as a contender. To be fair it is the only way I'd remember he was in the race.

My spell checker underlines this phrase with a squiggly green line.

I love this attack from Evans.

Can I get away with brown ale and carmargue horse steaks?

Macaloon

Going for a valedictory spin around Marble Arch later. Sure to be full of riders.

Froomey looks like he has no idea what to do with that cigar!

ddraver

.....there is a slight problem with all these horses...

Gazzetta67

Sorry Sean, but i need to mute Kirby until the last 3kms. It's unbearable to listen to this laughing at my own jokes fool :evil:

Has anyone said Froome's bike looks crap yet? Cuz it does.

Westra abandons.....39km to go. Heartbreaking

Imagine watching the race from on top of the Arc de Triomphe?

Would be amazing.

When you ride onto the Champs in yellow you can comment on someone's bike...

Lou Westra has abandoned???

Fairdoos, we've had brilliant weather this weekend again and get to round Sunday off watching this which already looks unique because of the changing light.

I wonder if there will be some drama like a bit of a pile up?
