But barracking for Richie Porte (Aussie who’s 9th at the moment, about 2mins down), and also Mitchelton-Scott team as that’s the Aussie team (even tho no Aussies are in it this time).

Yes, I know that Paul Sherwen passed away. That was very sad. Phil Liggett and Bob Roll considered not returning as commentators following Paul's death, as they did not know if they could handle it emotionally. But return they did, and they continue to occasionally reference Paul, which I like very much, as it sometimes seems like he is still there with them. He is in spirit.

And yes, we are big Richie Porte fans here as well! He was looking very promising yesterday, but the pace on that very last steep mountain section leading to the finish was too much for him. Still, at two minutes back with a week of racing yet to go, he's not completely out of the running.

Disappointing that Bardet fell back so far yesterday.

Hahaha, what a great picture it looks like something really cheerfully diabolical is going on here. I love both their ex-pressions.
I guess watching the scenery would be interesting through the race. I have never watched.
Oh dear, sounds like the card might be corrupted…? Do you have another camera to try it in?

Ha! Hilarious!

...Her Insane Majesty seems a bit disappointed with all the head-keeping. She didn't say anything, not sure whether it's a good sign or a bad one...

Ha! This is hilarious!

They look & sound utterly delighted by that turn of events. Do you have a suitable-sized jar to keep the head in for the lab?


It’s worse news for Bardet, they did an MRI scan yesterday after his fall (Bridie the Doctor “diagnosed” concussion straight away from the ictures). He had a slight brain bleed & is out indefinitely. Fingers crossed he returns to full health & will be riding again soon.

I love how they’re turning someone else’s misfortune to their own advantage.

Carly! Looks like she's enjoying lunch there.

Carly and food combo makes me hungry...

Carly looks very happy with her food

That's a super cool photo! And Bob is obviously having fun!

I hope Bob is getting the frequency he needs and not picking up odd transmissions...

I hope he gets to paint that gorgeous landscape in the background when he's done tinkering with his radio!

He reminds me of Danny Glover in the first Lethal Weapon film, who had a ‘mobile phone’ not dissimilar to that one.
