Tour de France *Spoilers*

Looks like Phil n Paul really have a reason for going on about Talansky today.

The breakaway will be caught. Only 3 mins at less than 60 km.

"average speed is 43 MPH", I don't think so mate

Nice scenery.

Another one bites the dust

Hubster watches with the subtitles on, which is an adventure in itself. They just said that Cancellara was out so he could train for the Worlds Temperature in September. So now we know.

Currently suffering Yawn Kelly. Really, who's bright idea was it to let him commentate?
Don't get me wrong, he obviously knows quite a lot, but jeez!!

I can't be doing with Yawn. His voice is so droney I totally lose the plot if I find myself listening to him. Absolutely dire. You'd think someone could train him to do the actual job he's actually supposed to be doing these days.

Remember the episode of Father Ted with the priest with the "incredibly boring voice"? Kelly makes him sound rather exciting.

Wegelius says “Andrew came to the Tour with a lot of ambitions. It's a big disillusion for him. He fights and shows his courage. He doesn't want to stop. We hope that he reaches the finishing line. If he's got the legs, he'll come across to the laughing group.”

I suspect the laughing group is a mistranslation.

Appears to be an accepted term:

Also see stage 7.
Not too sure what it relates too, though. The autobus?

Be interested to know, though it's incidental to the quote.
