Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

I'm pretty sure that Kelly keeps calling him Ronan Dennis

Liggett makes so many mistakes it's untrue

 

[Dayvo]

Murray's IN court soon

Now that would be something.

Liggett on Cancellara at last corner "it could come down to 100th of a second".

Cancellara time +6:89

Kirby on Contador - There's so much at stake...
Is that a spelling mistake?

Nibali could be more aero. If I was riding a TT in the tour I'd leave my cigarettes in the team car rather than stuffing them under my skin suit.

I don't need my tv on..
I've got a branch of his supporters club staying here


Dutch fans can be totally bonkers...
the Amsterdam Arena had (may still have) bullet proof glass in the away fans bit..

This video is of Feyenoord fans at the start of preseason training at De Kuip last week. All 10000 of the!. Saints have a friendly there in a couple of weeks. Part of it is an official farewell to Koeman and Pelle which something they do in the Netherlands

Jos Van Emden has never previously figured in my thoughts. I had to look him up. Good effort from Pinot.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Good effort from Pinot.

It was. Just had a look at those considered to be GC contenders and he was the best placed.

I was planning to go, but it's sold out already.

Could you be a starter? I couldn't, my fingers can only work from three.

I try to copy the finger sequence but it's a dark art.

”is he going to finish under 15 minutes, that would be unthinkable"

14"56'

He referred to "under 15 seconds" at least once.

I can tolerate them once a year, or turn over to German Eurosport (good) or France Televisions (French P+P).

 

[Bollo]

I'm just in the boat back from HvH via Utrecht. It was hot, Utrecht was busy (but not as busy as Yorkshire) and I need a shower. 200km in 35C plays havoc with my hair.

Highlight - the University of Utrecht frat boat. I wish I was young again.
Lowlight - cramping up on the way back due to dehydration. All went a bit Munch past the refinery.

I've a few viable snaps taken pap-style with arm extended, but the boat's wifi is routed via pluto, so they'll have to wait.

 

[Berk on a Bike]

I have asked ITV Cycling via twitter if they have got their own very good commentators doing the talking this year or if they are sticking with Liggett and Sherwen?

We'll find out soon enough I suppose...

I tweeted Phil Liggett with the same question. The old c*nt didn't reply.

Great performance by Steve Cummings today, I thought.
