    There is that. I do like Sagan.
    There could be a right royal scrap between the sprinters.
    The TdF is more of a spectacle than a race. I always get post TdF blues the moment it's over, regardless of how good it is.

    Same here. Summer seems to end after the third week in July :(

    I feel that Peanut sacrificed a podium place for a stage win.

    Is Gavira riding the tour?

    The one along with Henoi, Ulrica Scott and Buckie Molama that Kelly can't pronounce? Dunno.

    Ms hopkinb has just said it's been the longest 3 weeks of her life. I reminded her of the tours of France and Spain. She's fecked off to bed in a mood. She has a short memory. It happens every year. In her words "brightly coloured ants grimace their way up mountains no sane person would ride up, or some slightly bigger brightly coloured ants grimace for the last 500m of a 6 hour day, I'm off upstairs, and you're not getting any again."

    Correct. I get free rein. I think she jills off to Harvey in Suits. Small price to pay.

    Contador will crash on stage 3 and put himself out of the running.

    Only if a contender needs a natural break at an inopportune moment.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Froomedog would have been a Kenyan runner if he hadn't decided to be a cyclist.

    Am I the only one to hear "on a ragga tip" when I hear the name Bardet?
