Tour de France 2013

Tank slapper for Cav.

Cav wins. Not about the train.

Someone else wins. It's about the train.

Has Tuft crossed yet?

I doubt that.

I wasn't being serious.

This German man-robot has really robbed the Tour of passion, heart, soul, passion, heart and soul. Professional cycling would be better off without him and his Teutonic spreadsheets. A little bit of romance died on the cobbles of Paris tonight. For shame!

I agree. Kittel is killing professional cycling. I just can't enjoy it anymore.

Can we call him Chavi'n'pish yet?

Cav's stage record in doubt?

Has Tuft crossed yet?

He took a swift detour to the Alps to kill a bear that was giving him evils earlier in the tour with nothing but his hands and a bit of lickspittle, he'll be along shortly.

RAI said Petacchi has been spotted out in OPQS kit training too.

Also John Terry is roaming Paris on a Velib with a fake Sky kit right now.

There's a nice piece on Quintana's background here.

thanks very much for this.

I didn't think the bow ties would last.

Oh Christ, Cound has elbowed her way in....

Oh do fuck off.

She's his fucking fiancé, she has every right to be there.

But do they have to interview her?

Party started Jean Michel Jarre style..

^^ She's PRing him by the looks of things. Shame the interview had to be so doping heavy.

Oh god. Start the raffle.

She is his fiancée and manager. I thought it was sweet :)

I thought she looked like a bint.

Love the way ITV says re: Kittel award 'now we've got that out the way.... no disrespect to Kittel...' eh, it is really but anyway.

Sagan's got a green beard. Wow.

Quintana. Like a boss.

Fucking hell-the podium girls are still a few feet taller than him and he's standing on a step.

Like a tiny amazing boss.

Am hoping that the graphics for White Jersey will be a baby.

Am disappoint.

Also ushered in some smaller podium girls. Disappoint x2

Paris Y U only applaud politely?
