A most worthy report, Doctor- I raise a glass of fine madeira wine to you.
All in all, a rather satisfying Tour, although, it's not all over until the Champs.0 -

Merci.
Yes, there's one last day, after which I'll hand over the reins to you again for next year :-) It's been a pleasure.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
I know there's a separate thread for it, but THAT was the post of the Tour0

Excellent thread. Thanks for keeping this updated, have really enjoyed reading your reports over the past few weeks.0

Bought a tear to my eye watching Tufty trying to fall off the back of the Peloton in Paris. Worthy winner.0

Wasn't Tufty a complete star this evening- a magnificent performance.
Doctor, Sir, you are a star-from glimpsing a bit of it before internet access failed in a cafe in France, to sitting at home following it, this has been a wonderful thread. Thankyou.0 -
If Cav couldn't make it 5 in a row tonight, I'm glad Tufty managed to bring home the red light.Correlation is not causation.0

Indeed- to have lost the little red lamp on the Champs would have been heart-breaking.0

Congratulations to Svein Tuft, a monumental 88 hours, 24 minutes and 35 seconds in the saddle.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
Well done doc.
One small quibble: shouldn't the guy with the biggest time be at the top of the list? Seems a bit mean to stick him at the bottom when he's worked so hard to win this award.Aspire not to have more, but to be more.0 -

I did think about doing it like that, but tbh, it makes it a LOT easier to copy paste the last 20 riders from the results list if you don't have to swap them over as well ;-)
Personally, I think it fits better this way round anyway, aesthetically speaking.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0
