Hat! HAT!!1!

Super D Millar.  Baseball cap.  On backwards.  On a scale of 1 to Bloody Stupid Johnson  this rates at least a Piers “Morgan” Moron.

Tiny P Kennaugh has just mooted the possibility that TD Gendt is missing the presence of T Wellens this year.  Sorry, Tiny P, but we @ P@nd3m1c Pr0duckt10nzTM® are way ahead of you :smug:

A bit scary doing 50kph on wet roads on a bicycle with less than 5m visibility!

First time we got a clear view of AYates in his shinyjumper was after he'd lost it. All these wretched yellow/black combos, :sick:

I do feel a bit sorry of Hirschi, but he didn’t exactly cave even after they caught him.

Has Sagan finished yet?  ;D

Yeah. Did all that and still had the oomph to mount a sprint. 3rd and a red number don't beat a stage win for plaudits.  :'(

I'll have some of what he's drinking.

No. We @ P@nd3m1c Pr0duckt10nzTM® have been indulging in NI Lobachevsky-stylee research since day 1.

Onoz!  P@nd3m1c Pr0duckt10nzTM® has just discovered that ITV4’s resident geek has been M Rendell probably since it was built.  We will commit seppuku immediately using a b0rked Campag track crank.

I notice that social distancing has saved stage winners and jersey holders from being kissed by the podium girls (in fact one of the podium girls has been replaced by a chap in jeans and an appropriately coloured t-shirt)... do we think this might continue post coronalurgi?

Bethany (10) was going to comment on this last week but got distracted by Messrs Gabbitas & Terminator.  Now, would you like to buy some life insewerants?

I turned the anabaric distascope on for the last 5 minutes and looking at the pelican I suspect I caught the only excitement of the day. I’ll await PP synopsis to disabuse me of this notion.

You will, alas, have to wait a bit.  I have to go to Mr Sainsbury’s House of Toothy Comestibles or eat cardboard tonight, like Bethany (10).

Bright idea of ITV4 to broadcast a hagiography of T Pinot on a day he lost another 5 minutes.  Le ooops.

Gabbitas rings a bell from Molesworth...

<checks bookshelf in spare room>

Ah, here we are - in How To Be Topp, there is series of Ronald Searle illustrations, captioned thusly:

"Gabittas creeps round the wood one way"
"Thring creeps round the other way"
"Gabbitas and Thring trap a young man and lead him off to be a master"

Gabbitas & Thring were “educational consultants” who, when not trapping young men in the woods, published “The Good Skools Guide”.  Thring is, it seems, now history but Mr Gabbitas (great great grandson of the first Mr Gabbitas) may be carrying on the family business, albeit working for [“a possibly apocryphal organisation” – Ed.] funded by [“a high net worth individual or individuals” – Ed.].  Who may, or may not, have a Sinister Purpose in which Bethany (10) is a vital element.

Any resemblance between Mr Gabbitas and Agent Smith off of “The Matrix” is of course entirely coincidental and there is no spoon.
