Are we having a spin on Le Tour this year? They are half way across Corsica already, and Cav and Froome are settled in. Cav's looking for a stage win.

Ah well, he had a bit of a silly accident playing rugby and broke his head. He's a poorly boy at the moment with pneumonia but there is always hope that we will get some of him back. Just hard when he was my TdF buddy and I can't text him all the time and discuss the alarming moment when I realised I didn't hate old bum face (Cadel Evans) any more. Still it does give me something to chat to him about when we visit him in hospital. Anyway, now I have you lot to chat to as well, so that makes life a lot better 
. I was very happy for Orica Greenedge today, I'm really enjoying a start to the tour where different people get to shine.

The French have been retro testing samples from 1998 and have decided to publish the list of all the riders who tested positive. They want to do this during the last week of the Tour 
.
Still, I suppose it's good that they have to go back 15 years to get a proper doping scandal. While not problem free, cycling has come such a long way since then.
On a brighter note, looking forward to today's stage, through one of my favourite parts of France. My relatives, who live there, were complaining about being disrupted by the Tour virtually every year - I was very

The stage that we saw followed a similar route to today's stage - we saw it near Draguignan. As I sit here, looking out at a cool, grey day in Scotland (albeit not a rainy one, which counts as a summer day here), I am very of everyone basking in the sun in the South of France, regardless of whether they are going to see the Tour go past or not.

I love that video and they seem like a very likeable bunch, plus the bus thing was fantastic just for the drivers expression.
About to be a sprint finish, I'm all nervous for Cav and hoping there isn't a crash.

Froome is just so hard to like though isn't he Panon? He's just a bit 'meh' although I am happy to change that opinion if he starts winning the tour 
that's not meh at all.
I'm enjoying watching today SDTG because in three weeks time we will hopefully be down there. Although to be fair it hasn't rained all day in Wales today, there may even have been some sun.

yes it's tough isn't it? 'Talk about the events' or 'wait til everyone has seen the highlights'?
For me I don't mind. I work full time in the day usually, (this week is a rare exception) so rely on the highlights, BUT I know how to check the unintended 'spoiler' posts between getting home and seeing the prog.
It'd be silly to not post about events as they unfurl so I'd suggest that those watching in the day () feel free to post and the rest of us exercise some forebearance and not look in until we are happy to.
Is this okay?

Yes, you see I could do so much for Victoria Pendleton, too. Not least of which is teach her how to dance. I'd fear for the off-spring though.

MrsWiggo - at least one of them needs to be grounded and take the long view of life...
