Bahahahaha :D
Somebody's got too much time on their hands ;)
I haven't heard "suitcase of courage" this tour. Has anybody else?
I've heard "depths of courage"
maybe they lost their luggage.
I haven't heard 'spot of bother' either. One of my favorites
LOL:D:D
I love these two guys.
The Tour would just seem wrong without them and all the great sayings.
I haven't watched much of the Tour this year, is it true Bobke is actually saying Tour de France properly? I prefer Ter Day France :p
I don't see "lumpy" which is a favorite Paul description or the "man with the hammer" which my husband loves to quote. I must print some out for tomorrow night's watching. :D
A new one I heard this year: "It's getting grippy!"
I've heard them go to this one several times....Quote:

Hilarious! :D
I had to call DH in here so he could read them with me. Some I don't remember them saying, but we fast foward a lot on the DVR so I might miss some (who can spend 5 hours a day just watching the TDF? Sheesh).

The bingo cards are missing one of our other fave savings: "Call of nature."
My favorite is "oh the carnage"...when the pelaton is all broken up to a hard climb. I say that when I am climbing...
As for "call of nature"--I believe that have many other terms for that..."natural break" and somethign else.
Yep, tape teh tour to listen to Paul & Phil....can't stand the re-cap on prime time....Bobke is ok...but how is this Craig guy...he can't say anyone's name correctly!
I heard "spot of bother" this morning.
I can't resist telling hubby that I'm in a spot of bother on nearly every ride. I don't think he's as amused as I am. :p
It's getting grippy out there...
I hear it more like Ter Day Fraaaance. And I haven't caught him saying it any differnt.Quote:

Though, I loved his route description a few days ago all in Italian. He really got fired up. I wonder how much caffeine he drinks?
That's hysterical!
I spent much of the Death Ride "trying to get just that little bit more aerodynamic".....
LOL - I might have to use that one.:D:DQuote:

How else would you describe it?Quote:

Trust me, the oxygen is pretty rare at 10,000 feet elevation, and gets more rare the higher you go :D
how about "front end of the main field"
..that seems to be one of the favorites.
My all-time favorite was from Paul during a mountain stage a few years ago: His legs are screaming, "Bridge to engine room: more power," but there...is...no...more.
