He should have been given 200 for twatting the clown:lol1:
And that moron flattened today when he walked out in front of the break... :freak3: |
You don't see much of this during F1 races!
|
Woah , just seen spectator fall backwards :(
|
So it's been renamed the Tour de Farce now, and the idiot crowd surely can't be tolerated for much longer. Ok, Froome's been re-instated in the yellow jersey but what if he'd broken an arm or leg? The Tour organisers have to sort this out and soon.

just watching it , I thought half way up mountain the crowds look silly - not large but all over the place
Nairo looked beat though , whats that all about :eek: |
bigger longer barriers i suppose , either that or tazers for the motorcycle guys :lol1:
|
Triathlon de France? ;)

Maybe all they need is two motorbikes either side of road at the front each major groupetto

What time you expecting on triathlon Sunday SJ it is this sunday ? Yes mate, this Sunday. I'll be happy with under 3h15m, if I'm under 3h00m I'll be ecstatic! :) |
I just been reading up about how people can possible go twice as fast as us normal folk in the water - after watching a bloke powering past in the pool length after length
Learnt a new phrase that encompasses the rest of us employing , 'The Riviera crawl’ :lol1: |
Good luck Sj .:thumb:
I'm much too fat , hoping to swop some it for muscle in time for Hever again . I reckon I would be somewhere near 3:05 - 3:10 on Eton course |
2h48m...
Everything hurts and I'm dying. :cry: 32m swim, 1h22m bike, 50m run. The rest of the time was transition/ rounding. I'm off for a beer now! |
Id certainly be happy with that time :)

No real competition for Froome this tour it seems :(

Unless a motorbike/car gets him or the crowd knock him off he should be home dry. Amazing to see two out of leading three are Brits, and Cavendish took a 4th sprint, incredible. |
iv noticed before several L200 drivers think theyre driving a sports car :(
Boardman mothers death |

Boardman mothers death Very sad for Chris Boardman and a dreadful irony that she was killed on a bike. :( |
Your transitions were amazing SJ , 2 minutes each !!
takes me 3 just to remove wetsuit . Or maybe you wernt wearing one ? |
Thanks mate!
Official times were: Swim : 32:48 T1 : 2:54 (yes, I was trying to get out of a wetsuit!) Bike : 1:21:36 T2 : 1:01 Run : 50:00 Back on topic I'm really not impressed with Movistar this tour, Quintana needs to take the fight to Sky. I can see Valverde replacing him as #1 if he keeps this up. |

I can see Valverde replacing him as #1 if he keeps this up. It could be that having had his best efforts quashed by Froome in the past Quintana is mentally beaten. Alps to come though, where it might all change. |

I know nothing about the guy admittedly, but have they learned lessons from the Armstrong show? |
