Not sure we've had this, but impressive professionalism from the Five Live team last week as the desk collapsed on them in the middle of the sprint: -

Aaahh yet another numpty spectator ... I'm pretty sure that, that stated they will keep their distance in the future.

Which one - the lemming who was floored by Bennett, or the idiot in the green spandex gimp suit who was nearly hit by Majka?

Was that chasing spectator wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet to keep the hail off or as a protective measure in case Froome was feeling punchy again?

He refused to be ground down when peppered with hail.

If this thread's going to be salted with puns like that, it's going to be a real grind.

Just been watching last night's highlights after the Humax had another attack of brain fade.  That C Boardman is a Bad Man.

Put me in mind of Doctor Bunsen Burner, with the unfortunate G Boardman as the replacement Beaker. ;D

I am warming to Saggers more and more each year, and I felt for him yesterday, when those beastly other chaps refused to challenge him properly and, instead, attacked him with a couple of hundred yards to the finish.

Offpoint: as well as man-love for Peter of Saggers, I admit a man-love for dear old Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg. There, said it. That feels better.

Ohh there is talk about cutting tomorrows stage short. On top of Mount V there is 100-110 Km/h wind today and might be the same tomorrow.

The mountain weather forecast (mountain-forecast.com) shows sunny, 5°C and 70kmh wind. Not nice!
