Tour de France 2014

Ha ha, Cav on Eurosport just now.

"This is like D-Day for you today?"

"No not really. Why's that? Lots of people lost their lives on D-Day."

♥

Haha I laughed too.

So many people in Harrogate. Everyone has their gadget of choice up in the air. Kinda glad I'm not there.

Cav got skin suit and overshoes on = gameface.

New Tinkov kit is crazy bright

Currently at the 100m line. Harrogate is jammed already.

I'll be up for a some Monday observation. Not sure whether Green or Olympic park yet though, will decide tomorrow.

Sven Tuft sitting just behind the first group at the ribbon cutting. Can't believe Andy is there meeting the lizards royals, but Sven gets nothing (from what I saw).

(Also, how awkward did Chris Froome look? Poor guy).

Jens in the 1st break :-)

^^Andy has won the TDF, have some respect ;)

It cracks me up how the French commentators pronounce 'Yorkshire'. :)

why is the itv coverage in painfully awful quality?

Apart from the interminably boring adverts the footage looks clear on ITV

Like the new 5-bottle jerseys (or jumpers)
Meant to minimise littering

Yeah, I'm going to get one of those for my commute from Brentford to Farringdon.

That's a six bottle commute surely.

yellow sheep!

should have thought of the bottle numbers for the LFGSS CC Jumper.

Crowds are worthy of the Alps

Time for Phil to book his place under a dry stone wall. England has better to offer.

Great to see so many spectators

Jensie is brave!

The spectators at the 'Côte de Cray' caused an 'étranglement', a strangling/strangulation. :)

Anyone watching? Where is the rear brake on Jens Trek?

Below the chains stays apparently (http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article/pro-bike-jens-voigts-trek-madone-7-series-36321/)

Voigt at the top of the Côte de hippy Buttertubs.
