    Froome's wiggly back will make that orca swim nicely.

    From that article, btw, the following line - "Effectively, the orcas have learned how to drown their prey whilst minimising their own predatory exertion" - sounds like a pretty good write up of most top teams' tactics...

    Oh god it's like that episode of Blue Planet or some such where they're trying to get the seal off the ice flow and drown it.

    "I don't know if Orca's lay eggs, but Luke is laying down some Rowe on this climb for his team leader to fertilise and turn into a grown killer whale"

    Quote, C Kirby, TdF at some point 2018.

    I think KG is referencing some inevitable bollox Wales/Whales pun. God help us.

    "And like a killer whale, Chris Froome is killing his opposition here today."

    I can hear him saying this.

    Ah, missed the Wales / Whales obvious stuff. Though I think the complete mixed metaphores of fish and whales more likely from CK.

    True.
    Whales will give him the perfect opportunity to spout more rubbish that will make him giggle but the rest of us blubber.

    It will be fun revisiting this thread come the TdF, for sure. Even more so as orcas are not even fish, just fatter dolphins with a cow pattern ^ ^

    Given his propensity for laying down so much Sky have chosen to issue Thomas with the standard jersey design.

    My brain won't stop thinking of lame Kirby one liners. Aggghhhrrrrggg

    "Ho ho, this time its the fish doing the reeling in."

    "He's having a whale of a time out there"

    It's going to be awful. ITV for me I'm afraid.

    There's going to be an Orica/Orca line. You read it here first. "Michelton-Scott used to be Orica, but Sky are the Orcas now"
