I just couldn't think of her name when I posted. No offence meant in any way.

Unintentional offence, it's getting to the point where one will need to get everything proof read by a lawyer soon.

Funny that David Duffield should get mentioned. The stage in 1986 was the one when Liggett and Sherwen got held up somewhere and David was called on at zero notice to cover on the Izoard climb. They had Nick Owen as anchor in those days, and I remember him announcing the commentator as David Duffield with no explanation. I was certainly puzzled.

I don't remember that one. I do remember a stage where Duffield broke his car and had to commentate from his hotel room watching the TV.
Didn't seem much different to normal.
The GCN/ES coverage is on another level by comparison.

I'm surprised they found her available.
The help with her whereabouts forms must have worked. 😉

I caught a glimpse of this: was it Liz Armistead?
Bit of jersey award dress requirements there, WVA had obviously swopped his skinsuit for a team jersey and shorts. Presumably Pog had been required to replace the yellow jersey with a UAE one before descending down to the bus / hotel.

That could've been the same one. I can't remember the exact circumstances. If he'd broken his car that might explain why he was stuck in his room and available to step in for Channel 4 at short notice.

I did highlight the fact that Lizzie, the famous cyclist from Otley, was a pundit on ITV4 a few days ago.

It was indeed. I'm still not entirely sure of the correct pronunciation of Pogacar but I'm pretty sure her version isn't it

I think it's Pog-ARCHer [sorry, amateur phonetics there! Hopefully makes sense ...]
I guess Queen Liz didn't have time for pre-broadcast briefing on that!

Looking forward to today's mountains, I predict Pog-the-archer will miss his target and Vinegar will get his chips.

I'm going for a Superpog comeback.
Not because I have any reason to think it will (or won't) happen, but because it would be fun to watch.
PS I see Rog and Cries Wike are both now 13' down. Does this lessen their usefulness in roughing up Pog, as he won't have any need to chase down their attacks?
(but ineos still have 2 in the top 10)
