I am going to kick off proceedings with this, which amidst all the carnage, yesterday, made me smile.

BBC radio4 did report Cav's win, and played the post-race interview.
But the total domination of football is ridiculous.
I went shopping yesterday about 7:30 and there were quite a few people about obviously worse for wear after celebrating his stage win.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20231 -

I think this thread has proved that no-one really likes the Tour.

This thread hasn't received much love
I'm particularly disappointed my video of Bjarne Riis in a farty chair didn't get a nomination.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Either we are becoming grumpy old folks or a side effect of Covid isn't just a loss of taste and smell, but humour too.
This won't be on my list of threads to do, next year.

I knocked it off a bit as I was a bit worried I was basically becoming Colin Hunt from the Fast Show, although I don't really do whimsy.ddraver said:The stage threads have lost a lot of their whimsy these days. This is a symptom of the same thing... 😕
I'm not sure it was a tour that leant itself to it though - there wasn't something like boar man, none of the teams were spectacularly inept (dull and anonymous, sure, but that's not much of a punchline), there wasn't a cult hero stepping forth, the racing itself became a bit samey... The number of riders succumbing to Tokyo Syndrome made it feel like there was something similar going on in the peloton.

It must have been worse than I thought.
Rich even got bored of the PTP after Stage 17. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Ide Schelling, was on the verge of becoming a cult hero, before I suspect he got knackered after that first week, like so many others…2 -
Schelling was good value.
I wonder if it was a bit po-faced as the racing was so hard? Normally we have to make our own entertainment in the looooong dull bits, but with every break taking hours to form and then being half the peloton it was difficult to even get a breather to spot cows. Are hard races not as funny?Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
I made this one day when it was a bit dull, should probably have posted it if that's what we were missing.
