Thanks --- I appreciate this .. I have recently got bluetooth in my car so I have started to get into podcasts when I am doing long journeys. Great stuff

Inner Ring have done a run down of a few available podcasts too.

I think they have a special kit for Le Tour - I remember seeing somewhere that they'd gone greener as it woudl be more comfortable in the heat than the usual kit.

ETA Yep - it was here http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/raci...eal-special-edition-tour-de-france-kit-179286

That had me puzzled - I was wondering why it looked yellow rather than green. Rider 164 is Hesjedal.

The TV pictured is broken.

And just in case @Marmion's TV is broken, I'm sure he'll love to know that they've got a sacrificial lamb at the race today and that Phil loved Paul's quip that the riders would be "puffin" on top of the cliffs.

Really hoping Teklehaimanot can take the mountains jersey today, less than 10K to go....

Coo, in a bonus, they've told us apparently "Bretons" means "British" and not "Bretons" like I thought. Thanks P&P!

And other than Teklehaimanot (sorry if misspelt... I'll edit to fixlater), it's not that interesting today yet.
