2013 TdF talk - spoilers allowed!!!

DVRs are our friend. We can fast forward the races on the flats to the last 10 miles or so, and FF all the ads.

Interesting that they mentioned lawyer lips in today's commentary, and how they make a wheel change take so much longer. My husband hates them and has filed them off most of our bikes. Now pro cyclists and their mechanics have to put up with them? If anyone should know how to use a quick release skewer correctly, it should be a pro cycling mechanic!
Speaking of Phil, I haven't heard any really good Liggitisms this year. Nothing like "He needs to pick himself up by the scruff of his racing shorts..." has left his mouth yet.

Well. For a flat stage, today's was very eventful! It's not over yet. The Alps will be very interesting.

Truth.

I'm glad yesterday made it a closer race. Also glad Cavendish won his 25th!

I must have missed the actual Cavendish interview but they sure gave a long TV time to his GF, I had never heard of her and imagine my surprise that she is an ex page 3 girl (tits out for the papers in the UK). I assumed she must have some pearls of wisdom based on a sports background. It was odd, I have never watched the TDF long coverage before though. Is it common to have bimbos on telly adding their pennys worth? Or was it quiet day (before the crash). Do wives and GFs often get to wax poetic about race politics?

In a word, no. But they don't usually have such large, famous breasts, either.

OMFG. I just now watched the end of today's stage. Trentin was barely over the line and Phil points out how nice it was that he won since his teammate Cavendish wasn't able to.

This really has to stop. Trentin won. Just talk about Trentin. He deserves to be known for winning instead of being someone else's teammate.

I liked her and thought she sounded fairly intelligent. She seems to know more about cycling than that numpty host who sits with Bob Roll anyway.

I think they should have an award for "Most Charming" rider.
For the day, I'd give it to Sagan for his mid race wheelie, wave, and smile.
