Yes. I was going to say I was thoroughly enjoying it, but Carlton Kirby dampens the pleasure somewhat. The current set of words and phrases that getting me shouting ast the screen:
- on the nose (ie at the front)
- embedded in
- have some fun
- go long
- and why not?
- writ large
- he just needs to time-trial to the end now.
I know it's a tough job, and those words/phrases are innocuous enough, but multiple times every stage... Off to ITV4 highlights for me, I think.
Yesterday's stage would have been a lot duller without Contador. I don't suppose Froome would have fallen if they weren't having to chase that hard.
It seems unusual that so many of the contenders (Contador, Adam Yates, Roche, Chaves, Bardet, van Gaarderen, de la Cruz) have had their 'jours sans' so early.
