@JoseBeenTV He needs to think about how he could negatively affect the race.

God help these people

@PaoloIskandar64 It’s the best all-nighter I’ve done for a while.

@100Climbs Not for climbers.

Rees-Mogg has gone! #Moggzit

@fairydusts71 @IanDunt So it’s her v Hunt in next leadership contest then.

@IanDunt IDS lucky that Labour split their vote by deselecting their original candidate— otherwise he’d have lost by 6,000+ votes

@100Climbs Not fair, I once made an identical pass as a 4th Cat on a Majorca training camp ride and got a bollocking later at the Bunyola cafe stop.

@ammattipyoraily Most of F. Schleck’s time was set by Cadel chasing down the winner.

@MarcDavenant Mould is a sign of fuel poverty and ineffective insulation.

[Richard de Briançon @richcyclist]

@carltonkirby @MarkCavendish Simply, a winner.

[Richard de Briançon @richcyclist]

@100Climbs Or politicians.

Thanks, Graham. Yes, during the great freeze of Christmas 1962 all our pipes froze. My dad and I would wrap up our poo in newspaper and put it in a Harrods or Fortnum’s bag, drive to Ipswich and leave it on the front seat with the door unlocked. Always gone when we returned. A slow but certain way of flushing….

@PaoloIskandar64 Only how many bottles of red wine needed for election drinking game. And hangover anxiety.

[Richard de Briançon @richcyclist]

Bunting going up now. I’m tempted to skip riding to the Col du Galibier tomorrow and watch the race swoop round the corner that’s at the top of the slope and a couple of minutes from my door.

[Richard de Briançon @richcyclist]

A few weeks ago our long steep hill got a surprise new surface — after years of neglect it was so cracked it was like cobblestones — and today the direction signs for tomorrow’s ⁦@LeTour⁩ went up, so I’m guessing the mayor used the race to get a subsidy to improve the road.

@PaoloIskandar64 @GirlGiada It would be an amazing turnaround after their near wipeout last time.

@100Climbs Kirby & Kelly were pretty negative until 1km to go. That win was about belief.

[Richard de Briançon @richcyclist]

@theiaincameron It’ll make a better spectacle, assuming the road below the Lauteret is repaired in time after last week’s rain-induced mud slides.
