Anyone fancy popping over to Helmet Debates and lobbing in something about the impact absorption characteristics of frozen polystyrene? I've got a massive bag of popcorn I need to use up.Pinot prepares to keep cool

They let Rodriguez go. If he was a threat sky would never have let him get away

I'd 'like' this, but it's had plenty enough already and I wouldn't want it to go to your head.

Luke Rowe cuts to the chase. The presenters, commentators and journalists do their best to avoid the issue and when they are forced to mention "it", fall over themselves to find "TV friendly" phrases such as "nature breaks". Rowe talks about the guys "stopping to take a leak".

That's only because P&P were cycling in the days when Englishmen didn't do un-gentlemanly things like that.

Pause-pipi is the other French version but it sounds too much like P&P for those two to use.Luke Rowe cuts to the chase.

Cav really doesn't seem to care that much about the Green Jersey. I guess he is concentrating on getting to Paris and winning that prestigious final stage...

Luke Rowe is a superstar. I realised it when he took the Tour of Britain stage finish after Cav ended up in a hedge on the right-angle turn into the Norfolk Showground. First, he reportedly had the gumption to tell Wiggo that Sky were riding for him now. Second, he dealt with everyone (most of the crowd, the press, the VIPs) who seemed to have turned up because they'd get to see/meet a smiling Cav winning and dealt with them as lovely as any of the big names on their best days. All power to his legs! Roulez Rowe!Luke Rowe cuts to the chase.

Interesting breakaway today, with serial breakaway artist Thomas de Gendt in there. Do we think Haas is really cooked so early (as Phil seems to believe) or is putting on a show for the cameras in order to save some energy?
Coverage highlight so far for @Marmion is a great two-second shot of the itv results background animation for no obvious reason. Maybe someone in the mixing gallery dozed off and fell onto a wrong button. No new silliness in commentary but all the usual "front end of the main field" and so on.

Someone has but it was a bit damp so I've tried to make it a bit frostier. ;-)
