Tour de France 2015

Definitely not a hairless whisper

Don't know how Vaughters managed it but I've gone from really liking plucky Garmin Sharp to wishing Garmin Cannondale would just go away. It might just be the green TBH.

We're at La Morte at the Kom barrier. I can see an alternate reality where, as Valverde approaches, we jump him, whilst shouting "this is for AndyP"

On the subject of beards, hope we get to see him race again, the silly sod

Agreed.

I think its the incessant moaning about how unfair cycling is.

I don't wish him any harm. Just want him to crack spectacularly and lose a packet.

Hehe we know :)

There's no backing out now, the wheels are in motion...

Cup of piss?

If you are going to throw urine, follow the example of our French friends, and do it early in the stage. There are two good reasons for this. First, the live coverage will not have started and so you are less likely to be seen and identified. Secondly, I suspect the effect of riding for four hours or so smelling of urine as it mingles with your sweat is considerably worse than the final 15 minutes or so.

I don't know Clive. I would imagine the heat would cause the volatile compounds to evaporate. And the sweat would make it run off the skin.

Better to get it in just before a serious effort.

Could hedge your position and do both.

Preprepare the urine though. It must be first of the morning with a hangover. Pungent stuff. Not dilluted properly hydrated urine.

Meh.
If you're not Dizzy from the stentch of bacteria and urea from Your own blended sweat and urin; Choking on small flakes of vomitt stuck in Your teeth; and sticky from energy gel spillage and salt build up, you're not riding hard enough.

Seriously though.
Throwing irritating cheimicals in Peoples faces is Assault. And should be dealt wih as such.

This is not a lunchtime thread <<>>

Whenever I've been soaked with urine on a hot day it has got pretty nasty within a matter of hours. The key is to drink through it. Obviously.

maybe he'd been stung by a jellyfish...

Coffee AND asparagus?

We found where they were being stored in Utretcht, still with roof bars and everything!! Mr Poots would not support me in a smash and grab. The swine.

"fancy another one m8, it's my round"

Movistar with two in the break: Sky with none. Change of tactics from yesterday.

Bardet and Talansky (both only 16 mins down on the GC) both in break.

Simon Yates in break as well.

May I add that I do not condone throwing anything at cyclists or anyone else, even if they are known dopers whom @andyp does not like.

was wondering too why Sky hadn't thrown anyone into the break, looks like they've pulled all hands to help protect Froome.

Mark Renshaw done.

Both he and Tejay taken out by migraines apparently.
