    Should we be blaming Wiggle for all this then?


    I wonder if this was put on the list for a laugh, for someone to post just this.
    Mind you, I bet they get sent a shed load off the stuff with all those bikes to buy random crap for...

    I don't know but it made me go out and buy a bag of Golden Bears and a bag of Kikkers last night. I hardly ate any of them but I felt sick going to bed I tell you.

    Does anyone know where I can find full coverage of this Stage? I've never actually seen the pre Froome attack bits.

    Not sure if they have it, but if you look up Tiz Cycling, they are as likely to as anywhere.

    Cheers Rich and Daniel. Some bonus porn as well.

    3 years to the day since this... just watched the highlights. Keep meaning to rewatch the full stage at some point.

    Coincidentally, I was on a train back from London today and I was in 2018 too, as I watched Froome's attack on crappy 4G on the train then sprinted home...

    I also went skiing in Bardonecchia in 2020 right before all the COVID stuff kicked off.

    I was trying to watch on my phone on the ferry to the Isle of Wight. Crazy stage.

    Linky no worky, Rich.
    After 3 years it's still pinned on Tiz's homepage.
    It's behind Mirror number 2.
    Thought I might watch it again this week, either instead of tomorrow's or Friday's stage.
    Might be an idea for Carlton fans, too, as he had the commentary privilege that day.

    Luckily I was watching without sound. Given he sounds like he's about to orgasm if someone stands up to stretch their legs on a climb I can only imagine how bad he was that day although at least his screaming would be more in context than usual.

    As much as I hate CK, no amount of hyperbole would overdo that stage.
