So, can Fred Wright become the first, and only other, reigning British road champion to win a stage of the tour since Cav won two stages in 2013?*

Some ther reigning British champ achievements at the tour:

Steve Cummings won the combativity award on stage 12 in 2017
Geraint Thomas held the white jersey after stages 3-6 in 2010
David Millar held the polkadot jersey after stages 1-2 in 2007

I think that's all, but I could be wrong.

*No, probably not.

Those of us who pay don’t have the luxury of choice. Kirby makes it worth the subscription obviously although I was disappointed he didn’t lose it completely with the ice pop fellatio scene

Movistar all at sea. Lotto also in disaster mode.
All good fun.
