Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

And why does the Watchfinder bloke still look like he's never ridden a bike before?

I assumed he'd just shat himself

 

[Crackle]

Hey! I though I had the ugliest bike!

You do, I meant in the context of the race. No one is riding a Canyon with an undergrown back end are they?

Although in fairness if Kittel had been riding a Dawes Galaxy with a triple he might still be in the Tour.

I'm just catching up on the highlights of today, such as they were, because I went for a ride during the last 60k.

Once, just once I'd like a rider NOT to thank his team. "Yeah, it was all me, the lads were sh1t."

At least Froome was looking cheery at the start

He's not having to stand near a farking flag saying "Maillot Jaune" at the start (as G was seen doing on ITV highlights tonight), so of course he's happy.

Meanwhile en France TV the most annoying and frequent advert features a creepy looking guy who takes pills only available from the pharmacist apparently to keep him looking creepy. And the Alpacin shampoo available here allegedly stops your hair falling out.

Then it's back to the studio with Marion Rousse.

I'm going home tomorrow and the thought of having to look at Imlach, Boardman et al instead of her is making me

Letour.fr: Scully, De Gendt, Schär and Claeys have covered 48.1km in the first hour.

This after two arduous days in the mountains. It kind of brings it home how bonkers pro cycling is compared to normal people on bikes.

French Eurosport we’re having a discussion pre-stage about whether today was going to be the fastest road stage ever, as in effect it was all (well almost all) downhill.

And yes I should have checked if it was before posting, but facts, who needs’em?

He's moved from mobile doping to mobile dipping

They can’t say that in the U.K. as there is no proof.
wonder why they can in France? The research must be the same.

Maybe it is because most French people don't give a s**t about being politically correct?

'tis nothing at all about "political correctness". It's about lying.

Don't politicians lie permanently?

 

[Beebo]

You don’t know what political correctness means. It has nothing to do with lying.

Folks, can we leave this out of the Tour thread please?
