    Fortunately ITV4 are a classier lot. Expect their final montage to finish with a Sky rider, in moody black and white, cycling into the distance, followed, in a white gallic font on a black screen, by a single word:

    British cycling TV media types are freezepaging this thread just in case it gets deleted, all the while rubbing their hands together and saying "that's July's scripted bits sorted then"

    "They say that orca pods have their own unique languages. Well Team Sky are letting their legs do all the talking today Sean."
    It's crazy how much I hear his voice in your words!

    Just imagine it would happen during dirty talk as well! :shock: :lol:

    Clearly, you are writing copy for him and must be blamed for his future verbal diarrhoea!

    Maybe I am Carlton Kirby...

    quite clearly because killer whales are not only mammals, but part of the dolphin family,and cetaceans, so not fish at all,and thats the kind of marine biology mistake he'd (or you'd) make just for a bad pun...though I can now imagine oneliners about how Sky did at the race of the dolphins...

    "Awavey has contacted us on Twitter Sean, to ask if I'm making up the bad puns about fish and orcas and to remind us that orcas are in fact mammals and part of the dolphin family. Well, I have been known to make up a pun now and then, it passes the time when not a lot is happening on the stage, and talking of Sky and doplhins Sean, Sky have the top three places at this year's Critérium du Dauphiné, sometimes known as the Critérium du Dolphin by people who like that sort of thing Sean."

    "Well yes Carlton, we're seeing in this years race how strong Team Sky are..."

    This is too funny, I'm perversely looking forward to Kirby's jibbering

    That was so painfully accurate I reflexively switched this forum to ITV4.

    "You could say Sky are as strong as a killer whale Sean?"

    "Well yes you could Carlton, but anyways as I was saying, we can see how strong the team are at this year's race with Moscon in the leader's jersey, Kwiat-cough-ski sitting in second place and Thomas there in turd position."

    Hugely underrated post.

    At least they'll be visible in the peloton.

    I would be impressed if they can get rid of all single use plastic from their operations in two years.
    Like 6,000 drinks bottles used during the Gd'I, for example.
    Was that just Froome on the Finestre?

    "So Sean, this looks like a stage for a Chase Benoot or a Simon Clarke."

    Doh, you've let yourself down. It's Si Clarke to his friends (and Carlton).

    I actually reckon Kirby reads this forum as every so often he seems to mention something in commentary that is almost word for word what someone has written on here so if we can cr@p marine mammal puns I'm blaming you lot. Can I add something using marine mammal and mamil getting in there somewhere along the lines of 'of course Sean, whales aren't fish they're mammals but you won't see mamils climbing this fast at the weekend'.

    I started off with Si Clarke and then thought I'd change it to Simon as I feel he says Si when we're at the pointy end of the race and he gets excited but would say Simon when he's trying to be all 'serious commentator' doing his intro to the coverage. [I am taking this all WAY to seriously]

    I am convinced he reads the forum.
