Terrible things are happening to bears
I need. A cheap funeral, Sue Cook has done the research and the best is the company paying her to appear in the advert.With the money I save I am getting a Lift. Not a stairlift, a lift.
And a bath with a door.
And a year of travel insurance

Our Velogames Fantasy competition was close this year as we all had Pogacar. Usual top spot looked like going to @Paddy Irish as per usual but he was pipped at the death by Allez Rankin, a very nice man from Balerno. Similarly I just pipped @Urchaidh for third.
The overall winner of the whole shebang had figured out how to pick Pog and Remco and were fortunate that Girmay did so well in week one when Jasper Disaster was still huffing and puffing.
Was a very great tour but there is no way to my mind they can do all that work and recovery without some form of as yet legal assistance.
Both Jonas and Pog saying very tired and Pog not going to Olympics. Will he go for La Vuelta? He is in the best form of his life. For sure.

Well played Allez Rankin. we had similar teams, but in the end I think it came down to Matteo Jorgensen outdoing Adam Yates on the final time trial- a really gutsy ride for Jorgensen given that he fell early in the ride.
I really enjoyed the tour- even if the result wasn't in doubt during week 3, Pogacar is just box office and a joy to watch, Vingegaard was amazing given he was in hospital for 12 days with punctured lung in April, Remco, rode the best tour he could. Sorry to see Roglic crash out- probably his last chance.
There were lots of great individual stories - Bardet, Cav, Girmay, Campanaerts and the gravel stage was utterly awesome.

Yeah Jorgensen was immense in the last week in a couple of the climbs then in the TT.

Cavendish said he would hang his cleats up after the Tour de France Prudential Singapore Criterium.

It’s always been the biggest privilege to represent my country, and seeing cycling as the sport, pastime and mode of transport
