Tour de France 2016 **SPOILERS**

[mjr]

Bardet recovers French honour.

Ned and Dave jinxed him into the win by pointing out that no-one from France, Spain or Italy had won a stage yet. I liked Ned ranting at him for slowing to do his jersey up instead of taking as many seconds as possible.

That Staysure couple are taking mum on holiday.

Staysure aren't the best for covering medical conditions, hence the annoying adverts.

Also doesn't help that the cricket is on today

Your avatar's bat appears to be illegally oversize!

Bardet gets time bonus

Froome, Bardet, Quintana, Yates.

Ah ok thanks - I stand corrected - no sound on my feed - might give me away in the office

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I'm happy to see Bardet finally do something!

Ad criticism:

Pro-form Fitness Bike, with rideable stages from the 2013 Tour and they're damned well not putting in new stages until Froome stops winning and the USA has a contender again.

Amigo loans: too proud to ask your friends for money but not too proud to drop them in the shoot if you default? We'll help you fleece them!

GoDaddy: RyanAir for websites. Fly to Dublin for 99p and then pay loads

TSB: the Thatcher-Snatched Bank that we all used to own.

Skoda: the motor company that thinks cyclists are fakey-racey nobbers.

You missed the Sunlife one - I want a new pen but I aren't old enough yet for Sunlife plans

Dan Martin giving big props to his tyre sponsor. To be fair, Specialized tyres do seem fairly grippy, but for mere mortals like me who don't have the TdF road-sweepers in front, they seem to grip a lot of shoot too, which punctures them eventually.

Edit : this was yesterday's. Oops.

Just had a quick look back at the top 10 GCs from the last four years, back to 2012, and this year is significantly more competitive. 10th place rider is 7.42 down on Froome, who has 4.11 on the 2nd place, so riders 2 to 10 are unusually closely bunched (10th place has been 17 to 21 minutes down). Should make for a great stage tomorrow as well.

Who cares about Froome on Thomas's bike, lets hear from the dodgy toothed Frenchman!

That's yesterdays

I know. They updated the homepage but not the finalised one and guess who forgot to read the damn thing.

Enjoyed that finale. Really very happy indeed for Bardet - especially for getting ahead of clay-footed Nairo. Shame for Mollema and Yates though. Cheers!

And Sky - never mind the bias, feel the broadband reliability? Or Ian Botham being the latest celebrity to push a health gadget? Cheap non-name non-recycled who-knows-what-chemicals cards printed and posted from overseas (presumably not paying tax here)? Loans with 1294.1% interest?

It's almost that if any products you're considering appear in an itv4 daytime advert, it's probably time to look for better advice.
