Yesterdays puzzler from Phil as they charged into Montpellier. "Strung out like a flag in the dark" wtf?  _________________ I was being chased by a police dog last week, and made the mistake of trying to escape through a little tunnel, over a see-saw and through a hoop of fire. It finally caught me as I was weaving in and out of some sticks. |

Dave Brailsford will be happy to know that, according to Paul, Boassan Hagen is Sky's crown in their jewel.  |

They all feel monster to me, sadly...
Re: earlier reference to Cunego as the little prince, I can see why they'd use that as it's straight from the Italian press's nickname for him (they do love their nicknames...). But for some reason this year they're calling him Le Petit Prince. He hasn't changed nationality has he? If he gets into the break tomorrow (some hope), will PS say, "Phil, I believe he that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds..." *

During the climb today, Phil went from Edward Boysen-Hagan, to Edvald Boasen-Hagan to Edvald Boysen Hagan. _________________ "The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life."
