Perfectly demonstrated on yesterday's stage when the lone Bauke Mollema(?) took a trip into the bushes on the final descent to Pinerolo and one of them instinctively exclaimed "Oh there's been a MASSIVE crash!" |

That's what they're called in much of europe, but why they'd call them that in a commentary for Anglophones (and Yanks), I don't know. |

Moments ago; I'm reasonably certain he said it but it's so banal I'm not sure I believe it.
Ligget: "It's fair to say whoever wins on Sunday will be the true winner of the Tour de France."
(I think he means will be a truly deserving winner or something.)

| Ligget reminded of Duffers yesterday when he couldn't grasp the time differences between the leading riders and at one stage thought Contador might be going to make the Podium. |

Off on a bit of a tangent but did anyone else hear Sean Kelly say "alicol" instead of alcohol on the Alpe D' Huez stage?

They had a littlte tiff yesterday. Phil was having a dig at Paul's cycling prowess when Paul sounded a little hurt and pointed did alright in the sprint in a second group finnishing in Paris. Realising Paul was a little put out Phil admitted that he loved him and wanted to give him a hug and a kiss.
Bless.

Bump. This thread still reads perfectly sensibly even though it's 12 months out of date.
"Chris Froome is the cat in the box on Team Sky".  .

This thread is ever pertinent and will live on until the end of time.
