Tour de France 2012

Auschwitz ...(hope that offneds no-one)

My mum was nicknamed 'Belsen' for being skinny - in 1948. I think the refugee German Jewish woman two doors down had better things to do than be offended.

Sanchez's reaction was one of the highlights of the tour for me.

Better than the finger wag he did the last time Sky spanked him in the last K

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.

Just got the gorrila and Tubbs to go. Garrotte and grenade respectively I think.

Thinking I should have waited to sell that Sky jersey I had with wiggins name up the sides...

Ridiculous finish by Cav - desperately sorry for Roche, would love to see him get a stage.

Mrs Wrongcog is so into cycling now. I get to watch it with her, guilt free from now until forever. She is skipping like an adrenalinised, green coated donkey round the living room and I - if I'm honest - have something of a Cav induced lob on.

LLSanchez's face as cav went past is the stuff of legends: he just stops riding.

He seemed to be expecting a whole load of sprinters to go past with Cav, and when he realised Cav was actually completely alone decided he should probably continue 'sprinting' but was too late. ha!

Also a good omen for the olympics is the way Cav rode up the last climb a few k's before the sprint. Box Hilll training has paid off!

Ha, Mrs Quinn texted me with a "yay Cav!" message when the stage finished. Awesome :-)

Ann Summers might have to start knocking out World Champion cos play kits.

^^my missus, our 5 & 6 year olds, the 4year old boy from next door and the 2 year old girl she is babysitting tonight all watched the sprint and yelled for Cav apparently.
I would have liked to see that but am 2/3 of the way to Paris to see him do it on Sunday.

Awesome! have a good one man. Are you riding down? I forget.

Yeah, in Amiens tonight, a little over cooked from sun and wine.

Good lad!

I just caught the highlights.

I need a cold shower.

My flight is delayed but on positive note, have found an airport bar showing the highlights. 28k to go.

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 :)

Mahoosive. You cycling there?

Awesome finish, gutted for Roche but Cav was phenomenal

Finally just saw the sprint. Jesus Christ. Cav was rocket-powered today. Bodes well for Paris.

That finish and Millars - great stage wins.Perfect. Bravo Bradley!

While I would love to see Froome try an individual break on Sunday with all the consequences that would bring, I would love even more to see Wiggo "smash it" tomorrow and open the gap to second place still further.

Go Tim!

todays stage ended superbly.

Maybe on the climb to the podium.
