Le Tour

[bobleponge]

I know this wont appeal to Zaz, but will to PB.

5 days in, Cav was awesome yesterday, and there are 3 Brits in the top 10, which is awesome.

Contador still has to be favourite I reckon, although Schlect is a clear danger. I just have a sneaking suspicion that Mr Millar could get a foot on the podium in Paris. He won the Dauphin a couple of weeks ago so is clearly in good form.

Any other followers apart from me and PB?

(and I'm sure she only watches it cos of Stu O'Grady)

Ah Vive Le Tour Monsieur Bob!!!

Yesterday was phenominal, so many crashes, and I really didn't think Cav stood a chance at the line, but when he gets it right, he's like a rocket launching!

...and here the perfect excuse for this (even though he's in the wrong team colours here)

[Pumpkin Becki]

Now if I remember rightly, Scarey is going to watch the Tour go through near her home on the 9th. Scarey, I shall need you to make a 'PB loves Stuey' banner please

Mr TS is following it, and making me watch all the crashes

(he's also saving up for a training bike now)

I saw Leipheimer slide on his butt today after falling off for no apparent reason. I reckon I probably found it funnier than he did.

MrPB will only watch the crashes! He's a sick puppy. What was that spectator thinking on the first day?!?

[Two_Sheds]

Tw*t.... did they not realise there were a few thousand riders coming up behind them?


Is Cav a Liverpudlian? (I'm not v.good at accents)

[bobleponge]

He is from the Isle of Man, so not far. The Manx Missile!

Yup, we're like Yin and Yang - but together eh??? Knockout!

[Pumpkin Becki]

He's from the Isle of Man I think T_S (ooops, too slow )

Wayhey!!!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

...and Stuey is from Adelaide in Australia

[Two_Sheds]

Is the accent very similar then? (honestly I'm useless, I can't distinguish Welsh from Scots most of the time)

[bobleponge]

Yes its pretty similar. A proper language/accent person would tell you they're polls apart but for the average southerner (like me) they arent too far apart.

[zazen999]

Wayhey!!!!

As long as I can be Zig. Or is it Zag. The beige one.
