Tour de France 2013 *spoilers*

[laurence]

My internet went on the blink last night, so I didn't see the presentation, so if someone could provide a link to the FDJ and Cav's national jerseys......

And try and watch the start of tomorrow's stage - they pass by Bonifacio - spent a few days there some years ago - amazing place - the helicopter shots should be be pretty interesting.

from the letour.com site...

I'm taking bets on how long it is before someone posts that "this Tour is boring"...

I'm already bored after 11 pages of spoilers what nobber started it so early ?

Noodles i had £100 on today before 8am mind.

I'll take paypal gift or hard cash.

 

[kedab]

- no coverage until 11:30, who started this so early, eh?!

 

[lejogger]

Is it just me? Or is everyone else really really really REALLY flipping excited?!!!

Cav in yellow tonight??!

It might give me a lump in my throat...

...I mean trousers...

...no, throat.

 

[david k]

ha, ha lejogger

yes im really excited, its as if summer has started.when TdF begins. ................until i look outside

 

[Pedrosanchezo]

Can't wait!

I think Cav will start stage 2 in Yellow and Sagan will then have the Yellow until stage 4 - the 25k TT.

From there, who knows..................

My son has a classmate called Dan Martin who, at last night's school sports awards ceremony, received his full colours for cycling. If I were a superstitious kind of chap, I could read something into that.

Sounds like the kid is a decent prospect. Does a sub-30 10 - may not be quite Wiggo levels of prodigiousness but is pretty good for a 15yo. Who knows? Maybe he'll go on to be the new Dan Martin. Or something.

A 12 year old (a members son) joined us on one of our club confined 10 TT's and he knocked out a 30 minute flat.

Skinny little bugger maybe got a motor in his rear hub.

[yello]

Just seen FDJ photo shoot - I am so gonna have to get myself a FDJ blue cycling top

I want an Arthur Vichot wig.

Unbelievable! Ned Boulting has just confirmed my worst fears - Uncle Phil and his Monkey, Sherwen, will be commentating on ITV4 coverage.

Disgraceful. Utterly disgraceful.

There's a 16 year old in our club who can knock out a long 24 on our fairly lumpy course - on a road bike!
