I bet Fuglsang had a twitchy bum all the way to the line after that slide

Enjoyed Fuglsang's demolition of Alaphilippe et al on the Côte de Roche-aux-Faucons, and how he then jettisoned the only two able to stay with him on that climb. From there on in, my mind was saying "Do NOT crash" as he negotiated all those slippery bends and bits of white paint - so my stomach practically hit the ceiling when he had that skid/slide moment. Well-recovered, but didn't he know he had sufficient gap not to take such unnecessary risks?
I like his riding style, so would be content to see more big successes from him - if only he wasn't connected to arch-druggist Vinokourov…..
Anyway, Fuglsang appears to be the TV commentators' new Paolo Savoldelli - i.e. just as all the commentators (that I heard) insisted on saying Salvodelli instead of Savoldelli, they all now seem to insist on pronouncing Fuglsang as Fulgsang. Even Rob Hatch with his somewhat affected foreign pronunciations does it. Get it right, people, it ain't hard!
Although that's not as irritating as constant references to 'commissars' when they mean 'commissaires'. Even Chris Boardman always got that wrong, in a non-ironic way, and he should have known better!
At least Liggett's "Boysen-Hagens" are no longer aired in this country.....
