    Guy I was with was being overly chirpy banging on about how pretty it was.

    "Rick, I mean, wow, look at this scenery"

    "Seriously, shut the f*** up".

    You'd hate to climb with me, I distract myself from the pain by waxing lyrical about the scenery, sometimes just to myself :lol:

    Yeah but you weight 40kg so we don't sympathise much...

    Yes.

    The pain in my legs after the Aubisque was unbearable and nothing like I'd had before and I couldn't fathom I had 3 climbs still to go, including the Tourmalet.

    I really did swing through through a lot of very strong emotions that day.

    That gap's going out a bit - someone will start properly chasing soon I reckon.

    Anyway Romain Bardet cements his French Exchange Student credentials by starring in a French Levis advert. It is as you can imagine it. Terrible. With some upturning collar action and everything.

    Are we talking French double-denim here?

    Of course.

    Oh God. I had to look. I just had to.

    I wish I weighed 40kg, it's more in the 50kg region, and I still get dropped, a lot, by proper mountain dwellers, and by silly billies who don't know how to gauge their efforts and end up broken by the side of the road a few kms later. Happens on every climb. :lol:

    Front group is playing a lot of silly buggers now. They could lose a lot of time with this feinting and attacking.
