Tour de France 2017 ***SPOILERS***

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I don't know why Madiot is disliked, loads of great points

• He doesn't value the GC
• Loves 'cross
• Gives his riders a proper national champions jersey

He also sometimes speaks a right lot of cock

I would think tomorrow's stage (9) would be perfect for Bardet, if it wasn't for the club10 at the end of the stage

How very dare you! The Beautiful Marcel reigns supreme.

The trouble with beautiful people is how much time they spend looking in mirrors trying to make themselves beautiful, and then more time admiring their handiwork!

Somebody on Twitter asking why this lass Lillian 'Call me Jane" isn't riding the women's races.

They are saying on TCP that Calmejane studied at uni in Nottingham. I wonder if anyone here can verify ?

Edit - and here's the evidence

They mentioned something on ITV coverage yesterday, I wasn't paying full attention, but I think it was mentioned he studied in the UK for a few (4?) months.

And here's an article:

OK Ladies, put your lipstick where it won't melt. And buckle down for the deciding stage. If bad weather hits us (And God I hope it does) it could be a historic stage.

A good day to be out of the Aquarium looking in n'est pas.

Yes

But we still love him.

From that article -

C! How did you enjoy the Club 10’s? Not that I’m really sure it’s possible to ‘enjoy’ those violent little efforts though!

LC: At this time I was very surprised and excited by this kind of event because in France you don’t have the culture of time trial and often you can’t do this on the road because people are more and more annoyed by riders.

Right bacon sandwich, dog walk, shoot, sobering coffee, wash hands and get dressed. But not necessarily in that order.

I was loving the f word replacement yesterday as nothing was lost in translation. Today's profanity exchange makes me sound American which I object to. Must I really say poo in future ?

Not long until the start of Part 2 of "waiting for Arnaud"

From that article -

There does seem to be a bit of a driver v rider battle on the roads of France; a few "high profile" events e.g. Offredo being assaulted with a baseball bat and a blade earlier this year. Demare also tweeted that his cousin was knocked off his bike earlier this week by someone aiming a car at him, I think on the same day as Demare won a stage (or the day before/after)

We wait. We are bored. No, don't protest, we are bored to death, there's no denying it.
