    Good suggestions. I feel I should have tried harder.

    If that's not it I'm going off to sulk for a while.

    Is it a Chris Froome?

    Yes, correct. I was thinking of Chris. As in Chris Froome, the greatest cyclist of his generation, but that should have been C F, so I changed my mind.

    I'm confused, is it a Chris Froome or not? In my family we play using only the first letter, even if the object has more than one word. If it's a Chris Froome, I guess I get to choose.

    If it's not a Chris Froome, is it cable?

    Apologies. Look I messed up, do you want a couple of seconds or something?

    Yes, I'll take 25, although I probably won't need them.

    I'll also say that I spy something beginning with C...

    There seems to be 69km to go. The break has 2m22s. Back to the cricket.

    Cricket?
    It's Cricket isn't it?

    I think I have uncovered a scandal. I believe I have noticed a team involved in an illegal activity (French laws not just cycling). I need to get confirmation.

    (I may be overplaying this a little)

    That's an excellent guess, but I cannot get the cricket where I am, so it is not correct. It is definitely cycling-related.

    No, it's not one of the previous guesses - it's a new one (it's not cows, either) :wink:

    No. Something a touch more interesting (not much). I'm just interested in how they're getting away with it.

    Have they stopped by the road and not put a little traingle behind their car?

    I'm listening to the cricket, they've delayed the 5 Live coverage as nothing is happening, and my predition of this morning is bearing out to be true

    Ok. The sprint gave me a glance at what I was looking for.

    Dimension Data are sponsored by Nederburg - it's on their sleeves and shorts. Nederburg make wine, but alcohol advertising is strictly banned in France. How is this possible?

    They really need to get rid of the intermediate sprints, or change them in some way.

    Is it? I never knew that! Kronenbourg 1664 used to sponsor the Tour didn't they? Or was that only the Channel 4 coverage?

    Perhaps they don't consider South African wine as wine in France so that's how they're getting away with it.

    I must admit to finding it quite funny that they have 'neder' and 'berg' written on their bottoms.

    Sh1t. I feel like I've just beat Cav in a sprint and by a large margin too.

    I spy with my little eye something beginning with T.
