Michael Morkov looks like being Lantern Rouge 6:07:11 behind. Cees Bol is next 5:57:44 behind.

I'd be about that time behind if they let me play, but it would be days:hours:minutes

 

[StuAff]

I'd rather take a few weeks…

 

[Jameshow]

I'm not the Yates brothers' #1 fan* but I do think that having them take 3&4 is really cool.

*Nothing against them they're just not my favourites

They just lack the killer instinct tbh.
Nice lads your be happy your daughter's brought home!🤣

 

[McNobber]

I hope Pinot enjoys his retirement with his goats.

My ideal retirement is a nice wee croft wi goats and sheep. I'll be deid before I reach it tho.

Anyone translate Pinots tweet;

Au revoir … le virage ne mourra pas, l'an prochain on sera là , je serai avec vous ! Vive le Virage Pinot 😍

Not sure Google has it right;

Goodbye... the turn won't die, next year we'll be there, I'll be with you! Long live the Pinot turn 😍

He'll be there waving beside his goats

I'm not sure what's being referred to but he was having a hissy fit at guys from other teams (I forget who) for not working hard enough to pull the break back (and presumably lead him out too).

"Work for me! Work for me! Don't you know who I am?"

Ah right, yes.
There was a load more of that on the Mohoric stage.
He's not exactly winning me over ...

I'm guessing he is referring to his fans
Virage Pinot = Pinot Bend
As in Dutch Corner, Beefeater Bend, etc.
Saying it'll be there next year and he will be there with them

Best interview all tour! Great guy - total honesty!

Possibly best sports interview I've ever seen!
Think this is the longer 4min version:

That'd be weird as my daughter is 8.

 

[ColinJ]

Yes, that was a great interview!

I have enjoyed the race but I would have preferred Pog not to have had his jour sans...

I don't normally take part in pay-to-enter competitions but thought I would make an exception for the TdF BMC one. If I win the £35k and new bike I hereby promise to donate £500 to the CycleChat coffers!

If I win the £35k ... I hereby promise to donate £500 to the CycleChat coffers!

Cheapskate!!

 

[DCLane]

@ColinJ - Having won three ITV competitions (did donations after all three) we'll hold you to that.

For clarity the first two were 10% donations, the third 7.5%, as a hint for the CC fund ...

Got the Tour de Femmes on just now but for background viewing as I do other things. Just not the same without Sean Kelly's unique take on pronunciation!
