    This is a complete farce. What is the point? Either make it look like a race or don't bother. Might as well just add a neutralised lap of the final circuit at the beginning and roll out from there.

    The whole of Ineos off the back and peloton stretched out two abreast. Could be trouble :lol:

    It's the same every year so why are you watching. Go and do something less farcical.

    It's been like this as long as I've watched other than 1989. It's good to have the chance to celebrate getting to the end before a flat out one hour crit to finish.

    Exactly. You can see how much the riders are enjoying it. Having a chat and a laugh. Then we have a little race. What's not to like?

    Looks like your average Kingston wheelers club run.

    About the same amount of people too.

    Reminds me of how every single year people are shocked and appalled that Jools Holland's Hootenanny is recorded earlier in the year.

    Wow, that's embarrassing!

    In other news, from the Inner Ring.
    Last Tour of Jean-Maurice Ooghe. "Who?" you might ask. He's been the director in charge of the TV images for 23 years, spends weeks in winter and spring travelling around France to map the castles, valleys, rock formations etc so they can be showcased on the Tour's route

    Wiggins has definitely had a couple of sherberts!

    Apparently the look is considered haute couture in Brioude.

    Sometimes it seems to me Kingston Wheelers could fill Paris with their numbers.

    Has someone told Kwiatkowski that last one to the finish has to buy the drinks?
    He's been like Rip van Winkle for the past 3 weeks.

    Bardet has not only gone for the full dots, but the sizes of the dots are not consistent. He should be disqualified.
