Tour de France 2013 *spoilers*

Not all carrots are orange - the original ones are purple. It was a dutch guy who bred orange carrots (in a similar vein to tulips) and he did so in homage to William of Orange, the champion of protestantism.

Are you related to Mr Sherwen?

Are we going to have Noodley's interesting facts of the day again this year ?

The mention of carrot brings to mind the interesting non cycling fact that carrots are the only protestant vegetable I know. Anyone know any others ?

I reckon "thom's interesting greengrocer facts of the day" would be much better

Giancarlo Broccoli rides for Vini Fantini - maybe

Good call Smutch. You haven't picked him before either so far as I remember!

I like to make it sound like I know what I'm talking about by picking someone other than the obvious candidate.

Unfortunately, I've proved too many times in this forum how clueless I am to be able to pull the wool over your eyes like that.

Problem is I'm kind of out of stock now. I wouldn't like to have to start making things up.

Is Kristoff actually in the lead group? The way they're discussing Millar as a candidate for yellow leads me to suspect not. Back to the drawing board...

Ho hum.

[Crackle]

It looked like Froome really overcooked that corner

 

[Gains84]

Squeaky bum time with some of those speeds/corners!
