Tour Blog Day 11
Phew, no blog required today, but like the pro’s I’ll craft a gentle one so there is no chance of my fingers going into rest mode. I guess two things cycling but not tour related hit the rest day. Lance Armstrong’s attempt to get his USADA persecution overturned by the courts failed, followed later by … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 10
Awesome. Yes, I’ve gone all American in my tour blog today. Strangely though the word used by many an American citizen to describe even the most mundane of items or actions, describes perfectly Wiggo’s ride today. Talk about showing what you are made of – a massive show of force and something that “bum face” … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 9
If I’m going to be totally honest, day 8 blog was so short because I was getting pissed up in a field. Camping. Not by total choice either, more an obligation as clearly my mind was on the first mountain stage. Still, I was hopeful that as I was with a bunch of people that … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 8
I don’t think I really need to bother tonight. Suffice to say – GO Wiggo. Yellow suits you sir.
Tour Blog Day 7
Seven days in and I’m still blogging! It’s tiring I know that much all this tour watching and then trying to find something to write about. Today’s stage then was heavily influenced by crashes. I do pretty well to not find out the result after I get home from work – generally this is no … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 6
What a great stage today, with the break staying away just 100m short of the line. Two talking points as well really, one to do with the race, the other the ongoing USADA case. The race first. The effects of the crash on Cavendish must have had an impact today, he got wrong on the … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 5
Well – a short one. I don’t know what happened others than Cav crashed. Catching up tonight, so expect a big Day 6!!!!
Tour Blog Day 4
Loved today’s stage, it had a bit of everything. Crashes, bold moves, and a new version of “the look” Firstly the finish. Chavanel’s effort towards the end was a fantastic move, Great to create a bit of panic in the peloton, but I thought only one winner – the tourminator himself, Sagan. Another phenomenal ride … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 3
Day three and a return to the ITV highlights programme. A good effort chaps at padding out a fairly uneventful flat sprinters stage. Happiness all around with a victory from Cav. Pressure certainly off him now, stage win in the rainbow jersey – can it get any better than that. Particularly enjoyed the Ned and … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 2
No highlights to review today, live action from 20km to go, in a hotel with a bottle of Duvel and Eurosport. Good words from Harmon and Kelly as always but back in the studio and Rob Hayles looked bored by the whole thing. I’m guessing he’d rather be riding. Great ride by Spartacus again – … Continue reading
