He'll be a pundit soon enough

All the tears, all the hugs :( sad to see him go out like this

Am I right in thinking Cav was 1 stage win away from breaking some kind of record?

Wout was motoring

Some ride to get 3rd after being held up by his own lead-out

I told you he wouldn't get it. There are no fairy tale endings. Except in, you know, fairy tales.

Shit that he had to crash out though.

Final stage of the Giro had a fairy tale element to it. Lead out from Geraint. Hugs with Adam Blythe at the line.

Wonder what odds you would get on Cav unretiring?

Hugs with Adam Blythe

Sounds like a nightmare

Suffocated by a mohair jumper

My only hope

There are no fairy tale endings

Type of thing... but surely better to bow out than keep chasing?

Best news of the day... Jens Voight is back on the bike from Tuesday.

Thats second best news after quinn quits.

Just tuned in. Breakaway looks pretty horny

15 mins, JV handing over yellow?

Closest is Clément Berthet who's 26 mins off

Idly wondering how many hours of my life have been spent listening to Carlton.

No worries then
