Saw my first ever proper real life TDF team car yesterday , i felt like a child wool wool saxo tinkoff , i had to shout “tap,tap,tap ” at them for no reason other than excitement ?

Eh?

Meant to say Woop Woop , i was shouting like they were climbing the Alps de Huez – they were out side Maplins stuck in traffic -what a loser i am ha ha 😳

I got quite stupid excited about seeing team sky last month. I can only assume I will actually burst on Saturday.

You’re not the only one. Spotted KTM team vehicle yesterday and let out a ‘wooooooo’.

That’s all you need when you’ve run out of puff on Buttertubs, getting passed by Sir Chris sitting and spinning and a camera crew. 🙂

The camera helicopter just went over my house rehearsing the route into Skipton. Ok, getting excited now!

I saw a whole TdF squad out training on Langsett last night.

Shame it was Netapp-Endura

I think I may crap my pants at some point this weekend!!!!

Plucky part-brit underdog team… you should be cheering them on loudest!

a month or so ago I saw a Sky car (no riders) out in the white peak. Hope they weren’t on a reccy since it’s nowhere near the route.

my office is very near to millennium square in leeds so there’s team cars and commisaires all over the place

Really want to see Lotto-Belisols bikes now as this Ridley Helium looks awesome

Nah, I can’t see one Brit rider there. Orica-GreenEdge for me as they have the one and only english rider of the tour in Simon Yates.

I work in Harrogate, the Cofidis team have taken over the hotel I drive past.

Saw a couple of Sky riders in Otley 2 nights ago. The Sky Team are shacked up at the poshes hotel in the area just outside Harrogate.

Loads of Police motorbikes (probably over 50!) and vehicles just went past my work, I assume pre riding the course.

Yeah the custom painted Ridleys are gorgeous

I’ve been noting that anyone driving a skoda team / official tdf car has obviously been on the same driving course as the skoda taxi drivers in leeds. Lots of bad driving while on the phone, pulling up wherever they like and general confused glances at roadsigns

Past one of the BMC guys last night (i was in the car), wasn’t sure it was actually a TDF rider but the missus has just text me to say Movistar and BMC are staying at the Oulton Hall hotel near where i live, and I have to ride past there on my way home this evening, getting excited now!

Will the Orica bus get stuck under anything this year?

That first Ridley has my heart all of a flutter!

One of the nicest looking crabon bikes I’ve seen

😀 @ mrchrispy.

Cav has just arrived outside my office 🙂

If it was Saxo-Tinkoff then they were probably heading to Subway to pick up Contador’s meat sandwich! 😉

No, but the Fire Engine was stuck under finish gantry in Otley last night for the road race 😳
