Tazio Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Froome has had yellow hasn't he? I think I'm talking rubbish actually. Simpson held it but only for one or two stages. David Miller is the only British rider to have held all of the classification jerseys at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 They were just talking about the 5 previous Brits to wear yellow. Simpson, Yates, Boardman, Millar, Wiggins...and hopefully Cav later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 I can't understand why someone would take their dog and not have it on a lead. It's completely irresponsible. After the crash on stage 1 there's not a rider that wouldn't have been worried enough about a fall without some arsehole letting their dog chunter into the peleton. Does anyone think Millar could take yellow tomorrow? Garmin are good team time triallists. Can he stay in contention today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 The dog incident was frightening and amusing in equal measure, and what about the nutter who ran out and then dropped his hat. If he hadn't it looked like he was going straight into the two riders. As an aside, I love the road.cc tour tech updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 In honour of the tour I got round to reading A Rough Ride by Paul Kimmage. A really good insight into being a low level pro cyclist in a small team. Among the other stories he recounts the 3 tours that he took part in. Amazing how much more slick and organised things are nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gee Thomas ruined I can't see Sky troubling it tomorrow. Garmin are great with the TTT. I don't know why I'm so desperate for Millar to have a good tour. I think it could be his last.

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Not watched the TDF for some time, so it was heartwarming to watch the NBCSports highlights show last night and hear Phil Liggett commentating, brought back the memories of watching it on C4 back in the 80's/90's. I'm astounded by the lack of major crashes on some of the speed descents, the angle they're coming round corners at scares the crap out of me.

His hat falling off lost his train of thought. I could be wrong though. How close was that finish. I think Sagan was shocked he got pipped. Good chance for Miller tomorrow.

The People's Chimp Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Enjoyed the highlights there, europcar getting plenty of airtime for the sponsors so far, and great KOM stuff from Rolland. Shaping up to be a belter this year, so many unknown elements, people keeping their powder dry and a sense of nerves among the peloton. Sure we're all rooting for Millar tomorrow.
