Well, I'm awfully glad he cleared that one up for us.

Liggett just described the peloton's pursuit of the break as "the charging of the light brigade".

C'est magnifique mais c'est pas le commentaire.

Boardman, every time - 'dee-sent'
Everyone else - 'descent'

Sherwin today : "taking a peek along the final kilometre, and you can see the wind is teeming down".

Sherwin told us several times that there have been a lot of instances on today's stage.

THINKS... or was it incidences?

" he's the dutch time trial champion , he is good against the clock as well "

god help us

bobb · « **Reply #83 on:** 13 July, 2011, 10:09:30 pm »

He actually said "He's the national time trial champion of Holland......." which is of course incorrect too!

"1.4km still to climb to the top of the Côte de Puylaurens. It's a 4th category climb, only the first rider gets any points at the top. One to be exact. And it'll be somebody up in the front."

Where else would the first rider be ?

"Bak is at the front". At least three times. I know I should laugh just because someone is a FOREIGN, but...

"Voeckler has not put a wheel wrong... except when he nearly fell off."

We have one of these threads every year, and every year the OP manages to mis-spell "Sherwen".

Pot, kettle

Liggett just described Lourdes as "a Mecca for catholics".

My favourite quote from 'chasing legends' was Cav describing the risks taken in sprints and descents.. "You know that little voice in the back of your head that tells you that you really shouldn't be doing something? We don't have that.."

(Liggett, just now) "The sting in the tail is right at the end"

According to Phil, somebody "notched it up a ramp" today.

... they'll be leaving the Pyrenees with a vengeance!

This is a new manner of leaving things, that I shall look out for in the future.

James recalls (although not very specifically) something in the region of:

"There's the blackboard man - it's a woman this year."

Biff · « **Reply #95 on:** 17 July, 2011, 07:17:02 pm »

The riders do seem to be doing a lot of 'climbing the ascent of' and 'descending down' a lot of hills.

Sherwen, reading a roadside banner: "Bonne anniversaire, Anita, who is 47 years old… and I'm not sure who Anita is, as it happens."

Liggett: "To win the Tour de France, you've got to be great at every concept, whether it's time trialling... or riding against the clock"
