    I have an offering for Quote of the Tour, but there's not a thread (and might not be worth opening a new one).
    ITV coverage, Matt Rendell (I think) doing post-race interview with Jai Hindley after his stage win - "So you've had a taste of pink.....".
    I wondered where he was going after that opener. :D

    Eddy Merckx is like Elon Musk levels of greatness so it's not really comparable. It just seems such a shame because he might have been up for another biggy, "sports personality of the year" award.

    Until Cavendish spends $44bn on a cycling team and turns it into FdJ I refuse to believe that he's anywhere near approaching Musk's peculiar genius.

    Campenaerts trying to garner attention by riding incredibly overgeared.

    Genuinely thought they were showing Campenaerts in slow motion then until I saw people clapping at normal speed.

    Shows how light modern bikes are if Jonas can bench press it.
