usually its midnight the day before

Pog is going to smash it

Good to see quite a few young brits coming through this year

Just watched Pidcock in the MTB short track, **** hell it was like watching a grown up race toddlers.

And the XCO looked even easier. What is going on there in Ineos? I get he’s got the olympic goal, but a race like that 1 week before the tour? High risk to say the least. Not taking anything away from Pidcock’s MTB talent which is obviously immense, in terms of risk/investment vs that win, is it worth it for Ineos? Luckily it paid off. Certainly is entertaining. On the tour, hope he goes for stages and wins one in spectacular style, and I bet Jim is hoping the same because a tour stage is worth way more than a XC win.

Pidcock said on the Cycling Podcast he’s going to ride for stages

Is surely the sensible thing, but what’s the betting they revert to the same, now flaccid, ineos attack train, only for UAE to say ‘cheers guys’ and drop everyone.

I reckon UAE podium 1st and 2nd, and to be honest, they have a chance on 3rd

It will be incredible if Ving is competitive. Incredible. Let’s see what they can do. Kuss? Looked boring. WvA? Errr.

Roglic will fall off.

Remco might win the first TT.

Ineos better to go for stages or else decide who the leader is and act on it. They are turning into Movistar.

WvA’s hair is so amazing, if it split from him it would win GC

Fak!

Fak! Fak! Fak!

Forget about the is 50k a lot or not bobbins, it’s a distraction.

What we need is to tax income from assets more proportionally compared to the level of income on paye.

App update…..

Can’t control volume with phone buttons unless the app is active

No queue, well there is but it’s not editable and there is no play next/add to end

No ‘browse artist’ from what’s playing

Every other time you open it ‘something went wrong ‘

Lots of stuff now takes 2 clicks instead of 1

But the new home screen is better

The obviously rushed it out for the headphones, which I would buy except they don’t support my play base, because why? Let me guess, software?

It’s great hardware but they can’t do software for whatever reason

And/or you are proving too long

Are we getting the full stage today?

Still plenty to play for in the best of the rest category

haven’t you just paid the £60 yet? What’s your time worth? Nobody really cares about ‘the principle’ you know.

aaaaaand off he goes again!

plus the weather looks horrible, I’m sure they will not exactly be disappointed

I can’t see ‘G’ being in La Tour, unless it’s as a lieutenant to Egan Bernal .

They go with Thomas/Pidcock/Bernal as not-really-saying-who-the-leader-is and/or wait-and-see-what-happens strategy

Doesn’t strike me as very broad. Although I agree Pog has come up short against Vin in the last 2 TdFs his overall performance across all races is far more impressive.

There was a reason for that, first time no team support, second time injury. This time UAE is stronger and the injury is the other way around. It means its going to be interesting that is for sure.

will it be like last year where they start, jump in the bus, then start again?

Suck it up and pay the £60

You cannot get them next day online for £12 because you need a vet prescription, for which you will be charged £20.

Honestly though, I’d suck it up for £40, but for long term repeat prescriptions you save a lot.

probably could manage to put time in everyone else on a rest day though

Yeah well pog might blow in week 3 I guess

I’d be disappointed if only he wasn’t so entertaining. Bastard.

Oh come on Pog, have a day off!

This tt neads more time checks

I’m glad I don’t travel much any more, it was only the alcohol that made it bearable

Worst experience for a major airport is Ben Gurion, there is no contest.

It’s the who will be second edition!

It’s not impossible but he does seem to sometimes have a bad day and can break (see ving+rog in what tdf was it, 22?)

Not sure about G being the 2nd favorite, not looked so sprightly so far this year, maybe he’s been pacing it, it would be amazing.

Border terrier? Ours tries to kill leaves when the wind blows. Sure it will be fine though.

Anything worthwhile on Amazon?

Fargo new one (s5 but also s1 and s2 are ‘super’)
Not what I wrote about Sandman because its Netflix doh
Last of us (ep3 is amaze)

‘he kicked her out’ and then what?

Finished the job?

Loads of recs on the facebook group

Struggled to find anything hindhead/liphook/liss area but we were begin picky for nice places.

Talking of, the nicest was the Greyhound in Stockbridge. A bit posh and hunty/shooty, but they didn’t bat an eye when we turned up dripping wet and covered in shyte.

It’s how the industry works is it not, It’s not all about merit, even on 6 music.

But to be fair, John Grant _is_ the greatest mother f**ker (see what I did there)

People like nice things

Yes a trip to Greece would be nice but that does blow the budget a little

MvdP what a unit. Looked totally in control. Plus the team too: look, either I’m going long or jaspers going to out sprint you, so let’s just decide I’m the winner shall we?

Missed tarling and the sticky bottle. How blatant was it?

Sounds like they made a bit of a mistake on the quote, combined with some bike to work tax.

You are being unreasonable

Cost of a bike is never the sum of it’s parts

Ving, Rog, and even all out. Ving seemingly very serious.

Bit further south, massive crash in the basque country, very nasty, stage over :(

can smell that through the internet

Worth calling them, it’s small and friendly

Ile de re mentioned, this is our fat, been here loads: https://www.interlude.fr/en/

Fair bit further down that side but another direct access to gorgeous beach: https://www.camping-cap.com/

Both best in the edge seasons

Cottage pie
Proper job
Some weird lo fi shit

campsites are all overrun with children if its the school holidays, it’s the law.

never ever had a problem with height restrictions in supermarkets BUT watch out for the tunnel on the west side of paris because if you don’t realize until you get to the warning chains then its a right pig to avoid it.

stayed here in dordogne last year: http://www.mathevies.com/. Small/quiet/rural but near (drivable) to nice places and river stuff. Would return.

That’s a shitter for wva and a shame for the racing

Tarling worth an ew bet for Roubaix? 33/1
