Tour de France, 2024

Yes, spotted him too or a lookielikie. Up in the snow line mind not his usual fiery environment. 😉👹

And another great result! I will say no more just in case tda hasn't caught up yet!

I have now Nellie😁 Stunning result.

Well, oh my goodness me, assuming the world now knows about yesterday’s result, but what a fantastically brave end to the day’s racing. Vintage Cavendish, watching how he found every little line through, held off much younger and stronger men, and somehow, got there to cross the line first. They are all so brave, the sprinters, high speeds, jostling packs, we have seen the carnage that sometimes ends a days racing, and MC has had his fair share of awful injuries, as have others. One of those sporting moments that lives in the memory👏👏👏 

Chapeau Sir Mark.

I love the overhead shots as the sprinters, or nutters as I like to call them, launch their attacks or jostle for position.

Brilliant effort from OAP Mark.

Yes fantastic end sprint for Mark and he has finally got the record and I think that will last for a very long time.

BG did it again, what a finish!! He certainly is consolidating his right to the Green Jersey.

Yes, superb second win, brilliant for his team as well, Intermarche Wanty, gives them lots of exposure. He’s beating off some really strong sprinters like Phillipson and Groenewegen. Today’s stage is going to be very interesting.

Sad news from Tour of Austria though, young rider Andre Drege has died on a descent, and the day before, a female rider was badly injured in a collision with a car. Can’t remember her name at the moment.

Another very interesting day, which might have resulted in a decisive day, but wasn't. Just a pity that Tom Pidcock was pipped on the line.

Such a sad occurrence on the Tour of Austria with the death of Andre Steve following an accident. It goes to show what dangerous sport racing cycling can be.

Can anyone catch Pogacar? On last night's highlights show Cadel Evans seemed to say that it was possible.
