The team time trial that never was. Why do they have to change the rules?

yep it's an odd one, i guess they wanted the pog vs vini battle to start on day 1

I recall posting on here last year that I'd left myself a prompt on my iMac calendar to watch this year's race because of the wonderful scenery I saw last year. I have no interest in the cycling aspect. I see it finishes on July 26th.

classic podg today
let a complete nobody take yellow
so he can stay out of the light
do his stuff for the next few days get back to the hotel
leg rubs and a nice massge

So far a good start with as yet none of the accidents which seem in some years to dominate the first week.

unbelievable performance on stage 6

Podg has become the master?
is he unstopable ?

Typical cyclist - no hands and not looking where he's going...

honestly, short of accidents, which as a keen rider myself, I wouldn't wish on anyone, i think that might well be the case.

 

[Mr Bump]

Todays stage will be cut short due to high temps.... could be fun...

Had to smile at the name of today's finishing town. Ussel in Norwegian (I live in Norway) means 'lousy'.
