    Why is Andy Schleck being introduced FFS?

    He did win this race once upon a time.

    Although introducing him as the 2010 Tour winner while Contador is standing next to him is a little insensitive.

    Can't help feeling this second start is a little much. What's so awful about Leeds that the Cambridges couldn't have gone there? #tdf

    Shoe in for lanterne rouge so he might win something.

    Truth be told, I was hoping the royals were standing there waiting to be executed by Bernard Hinault. Touch disappointed.

    The one and only thing that have to hand to the royals is that they'll get in on any thing that might help them avoid the fate of their past French counterparts!

    Look, world, we are still trampled by the aristocracy and we love it!

    Lovely weather for Yorkshire though and the crowds are amazing.

    LOL David Miller that was gold.

    We should have a daily poll for how long it takes him to get his dig in. Because it will be daily. Guaranteed.

    For sure. I don't know that he will get too many options for it to be quite as hilarious as todays though, the context was perfect.

    LOL Andy is next to Contador. How did he slip there.

    Somebody failed a drug test and Andy got an official tour win. Can't think who that might have been.

    LOL at David Millar! Discussing the incorrect way the French refered to wills and Kate - "Well it's been a while since they had a Royal Family!" Brilliant! I think he's going to be brilliant as a pundit.

    Just a quick heads up that though we all get the same feed, we aren't all hearing the same commentary. So if you're going to mention a Millar quip then it would be nice if we could have it explained. Cheers.

    Edit: thanks TMR. Tea? ;-)
