Tour de France 2014

I'm not too happy about my investment in Toochic either.

I had a hissy fit on the Col de Palaquit about ten years ago. Let's hope one of the Tour riders today has one too.

A col with 'quit' in the name.

Unfair!

Scarlett Johansson's involvement with Soda Stream is seriously effecting her 'future wife' chances too. I hope she realises this.

^^ Well... par for the course really.

In other news, those Israel adverts.... Considering terminating my Eurosport subscription.

Yeah. 'Come to Israel, watch us fire mortars at kids playing football'

WAC

ah. Brice Feillu, one of my Fantasy team's few remaining active riders... bien fait, fiston.

A minute's silence for people killed in Ukraine on a programme sponsored by Israel. It's a funny old world.

You could not pay me enough money to go there.

this - I stuck him in mine today too. Thanks Inrng.

word just in that plaquesuperieure has just been updated with more vital and dynamic breaking news from the pro peloton.

where do you get these tip offs from? #magic

I get personal and exclusive tip offs from Greg Lemond, of course.

The ASA needs to add Uber's mortar children text in white out Helvetica at the bottom of the screen. Anything less is misleading.

Purito better make good his promise today. I want to see tongue's out with Voeckler for KOM points

another one down for Garmin Sharp - oh dear

Fucking adverts. State sponsored genocide or no, they're all fucking annoying.

Acevedo I thought would be good for a day like today but he's been nowhere - 2hrs down on GC, not really getting involved.

Not a great tour for Colombians.

40 degrees in the valleys. 28 on the finish line.

Fuck. That.

To be fair, most of the best ones of the current crop are not riding.

Definitely.

Next to the Giro start list this race is quite eurocentric and a little older too.

What happened to Atapuma? He fucked off early on in the Tour without much ado from the media.

34 at the start line. Horrific.

He broke his femur in the same crash that brought down Van Garderen last Friday.

^My clammy testicles are sticking to my shaved legs just thinking about it.

Re the Colombians, what happened to Betancur? Did he turn up?

Some strong riders in that break but mostly punchy rather than any actual climbers. Kadri will chip off solo again surely.

Love seeing Paolini drilling it at the front of the bunch. Strong look. No snake on his phone today.

Betancur is awol, and has, I think, been sacked by AG2R. I'd be surprised if we see him at the sharp end of a race again.
