I was wondering how ITV would handle it. Really well, as it turns out. If appearances are anything to go by, Chris has got a good team around him.

Yep, they had the statement posted earlier about the skipping and so on at the end of the TdF Highlights programme. No speaking, just it on the screen against a background of presumably landscape shots from today's stage and music.

I really like Chris B and I've a feeling his mum played a significant part in making him the man he his, it's an often overused word but i think tragic is apt in the circumstances.

Definitely. This much is very clear from his autobiography which I read recently. His tribute to his mum is largely drawn from the stuff about his parents in the book. I guess he didn't imagine he'd be putting his words to this purpose so soon after writing them.
