    Well worth watching. Especially if you don’t have Kids shouting their own commentary over Ned and David.

    ITV4 +1 doesn’t seem to be a think at this time

    Itv4 HD has been particularly effective. . I thought The winner was actually cycling into the living room as he crossed the line.

    Had to dig out my instagram password for this, but worth it:

    pity we don't have overhead coverage of when he shifts from the left to right.

    There was a donkey In Brittany on one of the Tableaux. Terrible things were not happening to it.

    Another amazing sprint, the presenters seem bored with all the excitement

    Winner seemed to cut up both alpecin riders? They were half hearted in protest

    One was ‘moving backwards’, other wasn’t impeded.

    (IMO)

    He passed one and immediately cut back in front of him. He then leant into the other one. Anyway he prevailed. Fairytale.

    “It opened my eyes that I had been a bit ignorant to the fact that you’re not just substituting, it’s a whole new food group, there are different flavours and different textures.

    “I haven’t cut out animal-based products completely but I streamlined to a plant-based diet. It’s wonderful.”

    Back in the day this was what Robert Millar did too.

    Here’s Cavendish racking up more points. He now has 168, with Jasper Philipsen way back in second on 102.

    I had a quick check of the stage 7 betting pre-race and van Aert was around 12/1 third favourite to take it. Mathieu van der Poel fronted the betting at 7/1, with Julian Alaphilippe 10/1. All three have been involved in the early skirmishes. For the record Cavendish was 400/1; that 33rd win will have to wait for now.
