Tour de France Rest Day, who is on the lead?

[Speicher]

Today is a rest day in the dogged purrsuit of excellence.

Nibali will, no doubt, be hounded by the press. Petacchi can recover from the Cat 4 climbs, and the Directeur Sportif can stop barking orders.

Back in England, Froome says it's snout to do with him.

Is it still raining cats and dogs in Southern France?

 

[Speicher]

I think there was a short paws in the bad weather yesterday evening.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Have you seen tomorrow's Pyrenean mountains?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Have they been over St Bernard's pass?

Is he carrying Alberto Cointreaudor's tipple in that barrel?

I think it's Extra Pyenean Original Brandy.

They say 'des cords' here... Il pleut des cords. Raining cats and dogs makes no sense. Odd that, don't you think.

They say 'des cords' here... Il pleure des cords. Raining cats and dogs makes no sense. Odd that, don't you think.

Were you crying at the time?

 

[Crackle]

Well Nibbles is still top dog.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

And Contador and Froome were dogged by injuries.

The Team Cars are currently caught in a tail back of traffic to get to the next hotel.

A rest day? .... lightweights.

 

[Speicher]

I do wish @Speicher would stop complaining. Is she going to Gripe-all day?

Is he leading in the Points Cat egory?

 

[Crackle]

And Contador and Froome were dogged by injuries.

And are feeling pretty ruff.

After it's rained you must have to ride through French poodles

 

[Speicher]

I'll say shun those poodles.
