Oh Wiggins, oh Bradley
I love you quite madley
You look tres sexee
In the yellow jersey
Vous etes tres bon
Avant le peloton
With your mates Cav and Froome
To Paris you'll zoom
Do your side burns help you steer?
When you win I will shed a tear.

Dilema - do I go and watch them come back through Richmond Park or stay and watch the coverage on the TV? I should be able to get home just in time to see the finish but the last 20 mins could be really exciting.

ThePan · 28/07/2012 14:42

Am too old for trance!

evil - leader only 1 min ahead of peloton. About 50mins left.

Thistledew · 28/07/2012 14:44

Phillipe Gilbert is making a brave effort to stay ahead on his own and is about 30 second ahead. No-one thinks he will be able to maintain it.

Final ascent of BH.

ThePan · 28/07/2012 14:45

Thistle - surely you've got to go to see them in the flesh?? It's a once in a life time opportunity!

HalfMumHalfBiscuit · 28/07/2012 14:48

Come ONNNNNNNNN!

I saw them on the way out - I just don't trust the signal in RP to stream the final minutes. I would hate to miss that for the sake of a few seconds of them whizzing past.

SeashellsAllezModInYellowAllez · 28/07/2012 15:06

Team Sky are leading the peloton!! Eisel is in the GB team at the head of the peloton Grin team loyalties run deep :)

evilgiraffe · 28/07/2012 15:14

Just out of wedding! How far from the finish are they - does it look like they can catch the breakaway?

SeashellsAllezModInYellowAllez · 28/07/2012 15:16

There are no on screen time splits etc so not much information at all.

26km and 1min gap

ThePan · 28/07/2012 15:16

doubts being expressed - about 40 mins left and the peloton 1 min away - Froome has left the race.

SeashellsAllezModInYellowAllez · 28/07/2012 15:16

Sorry first one for about 20minx popped up...

QuenelleOJersey2012 · 28/07/2012 15:17

I'm worried.

LostInWales · 28/07/2012 15:18

Cancellara is in the front group which is still strong (and huge), Froome has sat up and the commentators are sounding like they don't believe team GB can bring them back. Sad Still I'm mighty fond of Cancellara too, I'd be happy to see him win [traitor emoticon]

evilgiraffe · 28/07/2012 15:19

No Froome? What happened?

So much stress!

LostInWales · 28/07/2012 15:20

I'm worried too Quenelle. Not many commentators have thought they could pull it off really, not the right course for Cav really and Team GB are basically against the whole of the peloton.

Right, come on boys, show them how you do it.

evilgiraffe · 28/07/2012 15:21

Nooooooo, they have to catch them! How far from the finish are they?

LostInWales · 28/07/2012 15:21

Froome is knackered and has sat up off the back of the chase. Some others are helping a little bit. It's going to be close

LostInWales · 28/07/2012 15:22

25k to go according to twitter. TV coverage has not been great tbh.

GoCavWiggoMillarFroomeetal · 28/07/2012 15:22

Aaarghhhh!!!!!! It's just too painful to watch!!

SeashellsAllezModInYellowAllez · 28/07/2012 15:22

Bloody peloton have sat and sacrificed GB Angry

evilgiraffe · 28/07/2012 15:23

Not an impossible task then? I still have hope!

GaryTankCommander · 28/07/2012 15:23

Not looking good, I'm getting quite nervous.

evilgiraffe · 28/07/2012 15:25

No!

QuenelleOJersey2012 · 28/07/2012 15:25

It's still possible he said
