Bloody Hell, I podiumed!

Oh, brilliant! Cycle to Portsmouth, ferry over, Grand Depart + Sunday's stage! MUCH more convenient than Yorkshire.

What an absolutely brilliant video. Thanks for sharing. I love the Tour de France. Cycling really is God's own sport.

Et avant ca, le tour Eneco. C'est toujours fantastique!

The former. He is brilliant at most things, but there will always be three or four sprint specialists who will beat him in sprint stages of Grand Tours.

Teklehaimanot also deserves a mention for his polka dot shenanigans.

He needs to be feted in this country. He is a true sporting superstar, and his achievements are absolutely incredible. I know Sports Personality of the Year is a bit crap, but if he doesn't win something is very wrong.

Nicely put, Chris.

Cheers. Yes, strains all over. Strava may be quiet for a while now!

So, Cocquard nearly got it. Was your bet each way, SB?

Especially when you consider what it could have been like. I genuinely feared for G when his head appeared to smack into that pole.

TvG doesn't move far, and Barguil is coming up like an express train. He doesn't seem to brake in response to a slight deviation from TvG. I've watched this a few times now, and still think Barguill was negligent. G could have been killed.

I don't know if anyone has ever been disqualified for a move like this, but then again I can't remember seeing anything quite so negligent either. Sometimes a precedent has not yet been set.

Over reaction? That was craziness personified, and as someone alluded to above, he took that corner like a stock car racer. Of course he didn't set out to knock anyone off course, but if you ride like that, out of control and with no thought for your fellow competitors' safety, then I believe...

Well I was amazed I expected a bit more of a finish in the group mentality - no one losing time, but not right up there. Almost like a sprinters stage...because that is what it almost was.

In the stage result, you stopped at fourth, missing the unbelieveable list from 6th to tenth: Froome, Nibali, Contador, Valverde and Teejay. Who would have predicted that?

Bloody Hell! :eek: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/tour-de-france/watch-warren-barguil-has-close-shave-with-cows-on-the-tourmalet-182729#dcKq0PsillT3Ggr9.99

Seeing them go up the Tourmalet, and down it, today, was quite emotional for me - it was in l'etape last year, and I still find it hard to believe that I rode it. Sorry, personal shit, bigging myself up, but what a beautiful climb. Just brilliant.

Interesting that BBC Breakfast mentioned speculation about doping at 6.30, but didn't at 7.30. Someone's had a word.

You are forgiven. Don't do it again.
