Tour De France 2018

How are we turning ourselves inside out to discover whose fault it is that people are spitting and throwing piss on men riding their bikes up hills?

"Well obviously it's the throwy piss lads, but WE MUST BUILD A LIST RANKING THE CULPABILITY OF OTHER PARTIES BELOW THIS."

Blameworthy parties for TdF piss-throwing ranked:
.15. You
.14. Can't
.13. Rank
.12. Them
.11. Because
.10. There
.9. Are
.8. So
.7. Many
.6. Diverse
.5. Actors
.4. In
.3. This
.2. Matter
.1. Brailsford

Haven't you done that the wrong way around?

I typed it out from 15 >>> 1. It seems to have formatted itself when I posted...
ETA: There, I fixed it.

there's a rumour that the piss throwers are ex-pat brexiteer agents provocateurs

i actually think they are ex-punks new to cycling who have yet to understand the mores of the sport

Hang on, hang on, woah, woah, what am I supposed to be doing with my bottled piss?

Yeah ridiculous. Apparently it's Team Sky's fault because they are 'bad at PR'. In a way I'm impressed that everyone thinks that their PR has that much effect, I can't imagine that most people in this thread even know who Ben Wright is.

It's not just the piss-throwing though, it's the childish booing when a Team Sky rider passes. You can regularly hear that on the TV coverage this year so it's clearly not a tiny minority.

I suspect the dislike of Team Sky has more to do with them dominating the race for the past X years and the doping allegations.

Sell it to Bear Grylls

Selling it as compost accelerator?

Who's Ben Wright? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for pointing that nugget out

Sky's PR. Who is currently probably busy trying to get Brailsford to STFU, or would be if he had any sense ;)

Well people seem to have forgotten, which is odd.

Getting a bit bored. Has G won yet?

Where "sell" = "fling it over"

Obligatory "rest days suck as a #viewer" comment.

Might watch the ITV4 recap show, just to help with the withdrawal,

Froome and Thomas on a BBC interview stressing there is absolutely no rivalry between them. At some point they will have to fight it out, or Thomas step aside, no?

Maybe there is no rivalry but maybe there is no gentlemans agreement or team orders either.
