    They're going to have to be careful not to catch the breakaway when they speed up for the sprint. This is too dull for me, I'm bailing for a while.

    According to Matt Rendell on ITV just now, that's not as daft as it sounds.
    Would be a real left field first, if CAS come through.

    Hopefully, that means the peloton will get to replay this wonderful stage. :lol:

    This is karma for when I ran through that wheat field.

    I've been very productive this afternoon. Two loads of washing done. A visit to the physio, bike booked in for her annual service, an article submitted. Now I'll read a thesis.

    Has anything happened in the race?

    I must say I have enjoyed the discussions between José and Bobby about what is the best type of bread for different types of cheese when making the all important kaas broodje. They could have it as a listening exercise on the citizenship test.

    The great thing about Dutch is that even a complete non-speaker's guess of "he went for a crap in the countryside" is bound to be an adequate translation.

    2016 Tour: Why is Brailsford talking to the Commissaires, he has no right to.
    2017 Tour: Why couldn't Sagan talk to the Commissaires, he has a right to.

    I doubt CAS will change anything. They have a long standing aversion to getting involved in 'on-field' decisions.

    I'm looking for a diamond encrusted solid gold Rolex. Not a new one. I've tried everywhere but can't seem to find one. There must be a specialist surely? Can anybody help me why we're waiting for something to happen?

    He wants a quiet/calm poo, although I left an e of the end because poep is de poep not het meaning the adjective rustig has an e on the end. Landelijk or rusitek is rustic.

    God I'm bored!

    There's a large watch in a field somewhere in the Aube if you fancy it.

    Would it be normal for in such circumstances to switch to a new wheelset with rain tyres fitted?
