Tour Blog Day 19
Is this how the podium should really look ? So much press time is devoted to the Froome is stronger than Wiggins debate. Yes, I agree it does look as though Froome is the stronger climber. But it’s all predicated on the basis that Wiggins is riding as hard as possible. If Froome wasn’t a … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 18
Well, it’s finally bye bye Bumface, unless of course he goes on the attack on tomorrows stage. I can’t see it, but you never know with Cadel. Another great showing from the Yellow Jersey today, strength and also keeping calm. Very reminiscent of Indurain. Calm, unflappable tempo up the climbs, demolition in the time trials. … Continue reading
Tour Blog Rest Day
It wouldn’t be a rest day without a doping scandal, it’s become as much of the tour tradition now as the devil himself (although a get well soon to Him after his brain op) So, Frankie won’t be going to Hollywood, unless as part of a cheats never prosper film series with Alberto. Seems odd … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 17
A tired peloton was how Wiggins described the day, and as a fan I felt tired watching the stage too. Not quite watching paint dry, but a close second. Not a lot to report on, as today was possibly the most uneventful tour stage of this year. The pre race discussions of a Cavendish victory … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 16
Wanted – a thoroughly nasty rotter, last seen lurking around the top of a mountain in the Pyrenees shaking what appeared to be a tin of carpet tacks. Seriously though, what sort of person does that? The biggest bike race in the world. Damaged by some twat. It would be funny if the Astana rider … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 14
Four of the British Olympic Road Race team have now won stages in the Tour De France. Ian Stannard hasn’t, but that’s just because he’s not there!!! I love it. Generally, the French don’t like us, so I’m sat here today even happier that we are totally dominating the race now. I may even dig … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 13
Another great day of tour watching, ITV hitting the mark again. No special features, so you knew it was a stage to savour. The demise of old bum chin was a little sad, his spirited attack looked in all parts a good move, but once your team mate,TJ starts to drop you, it’s never going … Continue reading
Tour Blog Day 12
Considering the possibility of a slip up, it was a bit of an uneventful stage today for GC, but maybe that’s because Sky controlled the race so well. iTV set up the possibility of a downhill attack very well with Chris Boardmans feature on effective descending. As I watched it, the only other thought was … Continue reading
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
