Tour de France 2012

Some PR company emailed and asked if anyone from the office can get to Paris ASAP because there's a spot for dinner at the US embassy and then a seat next to the finishing line. I'm at a Jane Eyre museum with the missus instead, because I'm a prat who doesn't listen properly when asked questions. FML.

Wanna take me on as an intern for the weekend? I'll go.

Are you going to be there Clive?

No but I will be at LMNH with Camilla. Come along.

Bless Cav, he looked so made up in that interview. And genuinely really grateful at his team's efforts. Great team spirit!

Cuddles' missus is really classy on twitter. Shows Coundog how it should be done.

That was hilarious! Did you see LLS stop sprinting as soon as he sees Cav sailing past? I'd love to know what he was saying!

Even following that on twitter, the TdF text feed and on here while sitting in a cafe in Bermuda, it was very exciting.

Home overnight. TT while recovering from jet lag tomorrow.

^^ probably 'Oh FFS not again!'

Someone else will probably take it as I'm way, way down the list for those things, but still... From now on Tour Time is sacred: no nice weekends away to look at museums. No nothing. Just me and ITV4.

work hard and in a few years you can afford Eurosport

Was he sprinting? ;-) He waited way too long, but even if he'd have went in time Cav would've just zoomed past

Get all the press chatting about his weight loss losing him some top end speed, let other countries select teams with a 'possibly not a sprint' scenario in mind then

No but I will be at LMNH with Camilla. Come along.

I have a big company bbq to attend - with missmouse - lol - but I have warned them that I will be taking myself off inside for a couple of hours :)

just watching the replays of Sanchez flinging his hand up in disbelief and shaking his head after Cav flies past him keeps making me smile :)

Frank Schleck's B sample is also positive.

Unlikely.

I feel a bit funny about missing all this. I won't even see it on telly. The important bit has already happened, right? Right?

PhilGil suspected broken wrist and off to hospital

Wiggo said Cav "left them all for dead." Indeed

Have Team GB been purposefully knobbling potential Cav rivals for the Olympics? That's Contador, both Schlecks, Freire, Samuel Sanchez, Hushovd and now Gilbert out of the race.

And both Terpstra and Boonen picked up injuries at the Tour of Poland.

If Cancellara's baby looks a lot like Dave Brailsford then we will know.

Boom has a severely dented ego after Poland, don't kmow how Mollema is doing

"like putting Wayne Rooney in defence"

As if LMNH are getting a mention on Eurosport!

Oops, Mollema not part of Dutch team. (Gesink, Westra, Langeveld, Terpstra, Boom)
