Tour de France 2018 **SPOILERS**

[Tin Pot]

Ironman UK today is far more entertaining!



For the Brits, Fraser Cartmel in 3rd Joe Skipper about 4 mins off the lead and Lucy Gossage breezing it in the Women’s. About 2.5hrs in.

I was just catching up on the ITV Tour podcast this morning, and an interview with Porte after stage 3, in which he was reminiscing about “lying in a ditch this time last year” and how “to be in with a chance of winning this race, first you’ve got to make it to Paris”.

He sounded quite jolly in the interview. I’m really feeling sorry for him now.

 

[roadrash]

if it wasn't for bad luck, porte would have no luck at all
