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 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

Tour Blog Day 1

Day 1 – prologue. Only two winners I had considered for today, Cancellara and Martin. I fancied Martin for the win because we share the same name, and if we combined we’d be Martin Martin and that would confuse a lot of people. ITV is my preferred coverage provider again this year. Phil gets the … Continue reading

It’s tour time

I’m very excited. My favourite three weeks of the year are here, and I had a brainwave today that maybe I’d blog each day of the tour. I’m not sure what I’ll write, but in three weeks it’ll be circa 21 blogs so at least if nothing else it’ll give the new site a bit … Continue reading

Lance, doping and what I think

It’s topical, so I thought maybe a website item? Everyone has their opinion on Lance. Mine is I was lucky to watch all his tour victories, live through all the great shows he put on, truly enjoying his battles with various people, Ulrich, Pantani, Virenque, Basso to name a few. Why did I only pick … Continue reading
