Tour de France

Quite agree TtDA, but I have to smile when I see one of them standing there chatting in full kit.  They carry precious little excess weight ~~ No fat, no bulging muscles etc ~~ but what there is will be used totally to propel their two wheels swiftly & efficiently to fulfil their tasks for today, be it Sprinting, Climbing, Protecting Team Leader, or just Domestique Duties { whatever they might be }

Now I'm going to check up on those very interesting Motorbikes with Twin Front Wheels  I am no biker so they add another dimension to my view of the T de F.

Take care you all and please  Don't Fall Off  !!  

Trust me, some of the Sprinters have a lot of bulging muscle, I am thinking Andre Griepel, Marcel Kittel. All that takes some hefting over mountains😂 Cav is more your “pocket rocket”😁

Not all the sprinters are like that though, just look how well both Michael Mathews and Sonny Colbrelli did today, each taking points at the end and getting close to the number that Cav has.

Quite understand your point, TtDA, but I've just had a pleasant hour or three watching the athletics from Gateshead and even the relay batons have biceps or quadriceps to put weight lifters to shame  

Tour De France  2022

JUST BLEEP BLEEP TYPICAL INNIT  

Three weeks or so of decent weather in Copenhagen-land  and then the T-de-F pulls into town  and  and  and  ???  It Pours down ~~~~ still it makes life easy for the squad cleaners !!

It was a bit grim wasn’t it at one point. Copenhagen looked a nice city though, very interesting and superb for cyclists. Should be interesting today…..bridges and cross winds😱 I will be watching for tips, we are hoping to cycle across Humber Bridge next week. 

Best of luck with the cycling TTDA....  Haven't watch any Tour de France this year yet....  I usually manage to watch the late night catch-up.... must check to see when they are on..

It Started, unusually, on a Friday to give them all time to get over to France for the regular days pedalling  

It’s good to see the Grand Depart visiting other countries, Denmark looks to have a fantastic cycling infrastructure. UK is abysmal compared with a lot of places. Great crowds as well.

So hope one of the big Tours come back to Yorkshire🤞

We shall be catching up tonight, highlights are usually 7pm on ITV4.

Watched them going over the bridge today and then a pile up...!
