davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

. . . (not so sure about the hair, though...).

  You know me so well!

In terms of the commentators - we had Phil & Paul for a number of years, until 2016 I think, as we got the international feed & they were the voices.  Paul passed away a couple of years back. . .

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.

12 September – "We're in luck! This bloke's head doesn't fit either of our neck posts!"

"So we get to keep our heads? Or our bodies? No vivisection for us?"

"That's right! We're safe! But this disembodied git... it's probably a jar on the lab table for him!"
