Free Trade is a tremendous pub mind.

Would have suggested The Fighting Cocks over the road had it still existed.....

I'm off to watch on Burntree fell i think with some of the lads. Been a decent race so far


Think I might head for Prudhoe, there’s a sprint stage there so Cav’s missus might being hanging around… :omgwank:

I don't know about you wykiki but Cav in the Tour was the most I've enjoyed any sport in years. Added to that that he is the same team as Alaphillipe who is my favourite rider made it a dream tour.

Had me in tears a couple of times.

Absolutely superb Tour.  Gutted he didn't break the record, but he equalled it.

The first win had me weeping like a baby

Aye me too

 

I like most wrote him off. Yeh he won in Turkey but there was no top class sprinters there. He won a stage at Belgium tour but again lacking top sprinters. 

 

He beat Ewan but he wasn't full bore. Then. Ewan went. 

 

Tbh top sprinters at the moment are a rarity. I.e pure ones like Cav.  Its all punchers like. WVA, MVDP, Colbrelli etc. 

 

Would love to see Groewegen getting back but i think the incident with Jakobsen and him having a nipper has taken his edge.

I was all set to tune in to the highlights to see 90s drug casualty PaddockLad come up with a new roadside character every bit as iconic as the Devil at the TdF. And yet here is just confusedly taking photos of the wrong riders on the side of the road.

Nice there like. Is there a cycling thing on, or are you there with hot dog legs?

Please tell me @Gemmillyou're watching the Tour?

Probably the best Tour stage I have watched today in over 20 years.

WHAT A FUCKING STAGE!

It was fucking sensational. I genuinely thought it was all over this year, but what a performance by Jumbo-Visma today.

Galibier again tomorrow and Alpe D'Huez. I can't wait
