That would be excellent, pretty sure Ineos guys would have no problem with that.

I think that if this ever became a genuine risk, mr Prudhomme would just yell at the peloton over the radio until they woke up a bit.

That would probably work!

Fun fact about Bernal: he was born on the day Cantona kicked that palace fan. Probably., can't be arsed looking it up.

Dan Martin on why he didn't do better despite feeling good:

"When gently pressed for a more specific reason, he simply added: "I know, but I can't say. We'll look at it, and talk to the team about it, and you'll find out soon enough. We'll have talks later and figure it out going forward. As a I say, it's good to feel good on the last stage."

MVDP going well on mtb euros
Makes me want an mtb

Fucking love these kind of photos. Millar posted up one of him and a young cavendish, a recreation of it, as they are now, on Twitter a while ago.
Always great to see the root of why youngsters want to emulate their heroes achievements.

Ace.

Bardet polka dot shorts fuck off

I'm so fickle

Totally contrived for the replays and adverts for next year.... and for every screen inside every tourism bureau.

Looked amazing, soon to be standard stock footage.

Amazing day for Columbia!

Bradley Wiggins on Eurosport: "Enjoy the stage, have a nice evening, drink some champagne, forget Boris is PM"

Got this from the twitter. Did he says this?
