Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[deptfordmarmoset]

Anyone know why Chris Boardman is not at the Tour now and he definitely isn't as I saw him walking his dogs on the beach this morning. I thought it odd yesterday that David Millar was standing in?

Imlach just announced that Boardman was called home for an emergency.

Maybe not a big deal but he was using the yellow jersey to allow his team to catch up. I don't think it's entirely ethical.
If Quintana had more nous, Movistar maybe should have put the pedal down after the 3 Sky guys fell.

You could applaud Quintana and co. of good sportsmanship - something you don't see much of in sport these days.

Had to fly back for a family emergency, apparently.

That was kind of the first thing which went through my head when I saw him, which is why I didn't ask him. Hopefully nothing too serious.

You could but it was a racing incident of which he'd have been entitled to take advantage of IMO. However, I don't really give much of a toss, so I'll leave it there!

No, let's continue discussing it futilely to no conclusion for several pages more.

Yes. Realistically it makes no difference to him what we think, but you always want the best for someone in these situations.

Apparently Froome is surrounded by Geraint Thomas. What a surreal image.

I have to attend my darling daughter's 35th birthday bbq this afternoon.
What bad planning of me not to have thought about this sort of fiasco, 35 years and 9 months ago!

Sloppy. Take the laptop and make sure their WiFi is on.

I recommend a headache, requiring you to lie on the sofa while everyone else is outside.
