Just watched the itv coverage, crap commentating as per, but the Hoogerland interview was inspiring.
Next year we should sponsor a HTFU jersey (Hoogerland The Fuck Up) for keeping riding way beyond expectations.
This year's winners so far are Thor for hauling himself along in yellow jersey position for so long then Hoogerland for epic testicular fortitude. Frankly someone is going to have to loose body parts and still get to the finish to take it off him. Either that or Cav is going to have to launch a counter attack against Griepel and Farrar on the slopes of the Tourmalet tomorrow.

I've explained to dozens of people this week why it is that Cav isn't in the yellow jersey, what the green jersey is about, why people race on their own for 100k and everyone rides behind them in a big gang, what all the cars and motorbikes are for.
If that Chris Hoy's so good why doesn't he ride in that Tour de France?

A couple of months ago a pupil asked me if I was riding in the Olympics.
I was on my fixie that day so it's understandable.That and wearing your Team GB replica skinsuit.

'podium' is not a verb.
edit: ha! you edited it!
The Oxford dictionary disagrees with you Mr Wigan
Pronunciation:/ˈpōdēəm, /
noun (plural -di·ums or -di·a /-dēə/)[]a small platform on which a person may stand to be seen by an audience, as when making a speech or conducting an orchestra.
[]a lectern.
[]a continuous projecting base or pedestal under a building.
[]a raised platform surrounding the arena in an ancient amphitheater.
verb[no object]
* finish first, second , or third, so as to appear on a podium for an award:I‘ve had great results in the sprint and I’ve podiumed in the individual
To be fair it is the American version though.

In the earlier bits of the stage, if no one is racing too hard, riders will stop en-masse to piss at the side of the road. There are rules though - riders can be fined if they expose themselves to the public.
When the race hots up riders will piss on the move, either by pulling their shorts up or down or, if it is really not possible to do that, by pissing themselves.
You sometimes see riders pull over and if the camera operator, or director, is not quick enough to realise why, you will get a flash of pro penis. Come to think of it though, if you are in a break it must be much harder to piss discreetly.
Also, I am not sure how easy it is for female racers to piss without removing their shorts. -

How can you have an American version of the Oxford dictionary. That's as silly as vegan 'cheese'.

There's a German version, too:

Ok, so what happens if you need a piss while riding on the TDF?
I've come up with a few ideas that involve domestiques carrying waterbottles, but I can't be certain...
What Will said...
It was the unwritten rule that no-one attacked while a favourite was taking a piss, but one time when Greg LeMond was taking a 'comfort break' at the side of the road the hostile peloton gave it full gas and he had to chase on for fucking miles before he caught the bunch.
After that, any time he wanted a piss he would get a team mate to push as he freewheeled along, pissing into the wind.
As a side note, Greg also shat himself very badly once on a climb. He was sick as a dog and had bad guts, a let rip right in the middle of the race. Other riders reported that he stank something terrible, and that it was running out of his shorts and coating his bike.
He finished the stage.
Like a boss.
