    Whilst I wait for the carpet cleaner to soak in it’s time to reveal the colour of said carpet: a light cream.

    The smell is....difficult to remove as we currently stand.

    Updates when appropriate.

    Espresso being very Italian today. Keeps fluctuating between 30 and 35 secs.

    Can't get it nailed on the 33 secs it requires...

    WvA 39" behind at first checkpoint. 3rd place.

    Looks like Cavagna's time was pretty quick.

    Just occurred to me: I assume the weird overlap means Kirby won't be on the Le Mans coverage too. Small mercies.

    Windy ride done, shelves built, and now some of this stage with a beer.

    Peak dad mode achieved minus poop on the carpet.

    Do you reckon the uci start gate commissaire gets given a free watch by Tisdot and gets to keep it?

    Marginal losses. It's a FDJ thing.

    I admire Carapaz's refusal to go full polka dot, but those overshoes are a disgrace
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    I predicted that on Twitter. It almost felt like low hanging fruit.

    I'm surprised nobody's gone for a road bike with clip-ons.

    Live timing on the screen shows Pog has 12" on Rog.

    I reckon there's a good change Pog has gone out too hard though

    Is Carapaz going for the mother of all negative splits to secure the KOM jersey? Or is he just farked?

    He’s strolling along until he gets to the KOM start. The announcers have been saying this the whole time
