I put together my team at the last minute, without a great dealt of thought - "oh, I need another domestique, I've heard of him, I'll have him..." - Yves Lampard! </p> <p>(The best ever TDF competition we entered was one Mr fimm was in some years ago where you were allocated one rider at random, and if they won a stage you got a prize. We got some bloke called Peter Sagan who we'd never heard of before. We know who he was by the end of the tour... we also got quite a lot of free stuff, and a nice jersey advertising the shop that ran the competition...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21003#post-361747 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 17:41:22 +0000 gembo 361747@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Some great eyebrows so far at the tour. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21003#post-361743 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 16:31:30 +0000 chdot 361743@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>You kinda assume Cav wouldn’t have managed that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21003#post-361740 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 11:57:31 +0000 chdot 361740@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>11.53 </p> <p>190km to go: Massive crowds line the route.
