Most welcome Mr. Seed.

Have been trying to work out the best place to sneak a peek myself - may try to head up Cotes Heath wayto doff the old chapeau.

Tour de France Yorkshire

Wiggo woz a bit quick today.

Anybody planning on lining the route tomorrow? Work rules me out i'm afraid.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Cav positively 'monstered' the finish today. The Tour de Bretagne is finally coming of age.

There can be fewer finer sights than 'The Manx Missile' in full flight - Viviani would have taken it if it weren't for a monster slide on the cobbles though, i reckons.

It has been a very enjoyable race to be sure. Nice to see Quintana creep into the top ten in GC - also that he only lost ~1.30 to Sir Bradley of Wiggins in the TT, rather than the ~2.30 he lost to Vroome in France. The shape of things to come may be very short, and Colombian, after all.

I think I would like Mr Q if he "pulled his weight" a little more. Admittedly I watch only the highlights, so I may be doing him an injustice.

Also, are you sure that 'short, and Columbian' isnt street slang for a certain type of deal?

 

[Withnail]

I would be surprised if Quintana hadn't approached this race as anything other than as warm up for the World Championships so i wouldn't give him any gip on that front.

If you are looking for some bidness on a 'short Colombian', it's going to set you back a monkey...
