I was cycling on what little flat there is around here last year, doing about 20 on the road bike. Got passed easily by a MTBer with fully knobbly tyres. "Not having that", went after him. No chance, couldn't get close

Fred Wright

Guess I can live with being scalped by a MTBer when its a World Tour pro

He's not looking good at the back of the bunch. Will he make it to today's finish?

And if he does , will he start tomorrow !!!

 

[roadrash]

Mads Pederson takes the win , fred gets second

 

[Mike_P]

Jacobsen, Sagan and Ewan all together 20:05 down. Froome 6:11 down.

I think he'll get a stage this year. But not today sadly

And if he does , will he start tomorrow !!!

I'll be disappointed if he doesn't as I'll be robbed of the opportunity to shout at the telly every time Kelly says "Cable Ewan"

Spolier?

Did you know that the tour organisers send people out onto the route before the race to paint out/erase any political or obscene messages that are painted on the road? I didn't. There's just been an item on the news about it.

I often wondered what had happened to my 'Froome smells like hot dog water' chalk daub.

They missed the huge male appendage that was drawn on the road a few years back...made me smile.

That might not count as obscene in France.

Not Pidcock by any chance?

I seem to remember hearing that the team turn the cock and balls images into butterflies.

I had a similar experience a couple of decades ago...

I was whizzing along on my road bike doing about 20 mph and I heard the characteristic sound of big knobbly tyres on tarmac coming up quickly behind me. Suddenly a young woman on a MTB went past doing about 30 mph, one hand on the bars and the other holding her bottle. She took a quick drink, called out a cheery 'hi', replaced the bottle in its cage and shot off even faster. I saw her turn off the road up a steep bridleway ahead of me. By the time I'd got to the gate she was almost at the top of a hill way up to my left. Boy, she was fit...

A month later, I spotted her in one of the MTB mags - it was Deb Murrell.
