Tour de France 2012 (with SPOILERS)

His first question after finishing Saturday's stage was about how Wigan RLFC were doing.

Apart from his black socks, that's about the only thing that worries me about him - that he seems to prefer league over union.

charming, articulate, thoughtful, pleasant, fantastic cyclist and good looking with it.

WE HATE HIM!!!!!

 

[GaryA]

He's from Eccleston in Lancashire and we're keeping him as one of our own!

Forget the Belgian/ Australian/ Cockney arguments - he's now officially a Northerner - and a pie eater to boot. His first question after finishing Saturday's stage was about how Wigan RLFC were doing.

We've not much to be proud of around here so having the most successful GB* TdeF rider ever is something we'll grab with both hands!

* possibly

The Carl Fogarty or James Whitham of the cycling world...?

SHUT UP, CELLS!

I'd like to wager that todays stage will be more interesting than yesterdays.....

The action yesterday was Sagan signing poitrines...

Possibly the best thing I will do today, is put that word into a Google Image search...

sheesh! Can we get this sorted once and for all..Cav is not in a GC Team. Sky ride the race as they see it. If they see it as a sprinters race then they race it as such...they have the depth to change as conditions suit. Stop getting caught up in meedya shite and listening to nobbers on forums! There is a full race calendar beyond the Tour de France!

Of course assuming all members are compliant

He's definitely a climber

You re right he is.....mind he did talk a lot of bollox about team radios a while back ( bit of a senior moment maybe )

Shouldn't you be painting or framing or... instead of loitering in here

Hey, I'm not married to you!

 

[Noodley]

Today's not-very-interesting-fact-of-the-rest-day is that, if you are missing the race coverage, simply pick up a phone book and try to pronounce 2 pages of names in as strange a manner as you possibly can; then follow it up by picking up a local tourist brochure whilst running your finger under every word and reading aloud like a 5 year old doing homework....ta da! It's like having Liggett and Sherwen.

League is far superior to yawnion.
