Honking.

Rule #17 Team kit is for members of the team.
Wearing Pro team kit is also questionable if you’re not paid to wear it.  If you must fly the colors of Pro teams, all garments should match perfectly, i.e no Mapei jersey with Kelme shorts and Telekom socks.

He certainly matched...

I was cycling with an ex-pro a few weeks ago, and he was very critical of a bloke we saw wearing a national champion's jersey. Rightly so.

Brilliant, Cav is back.  He out thought Greipel and was simply faster at the end.  One of his great strengths is his quick thinking in the chaos and carnage of the bunch sprint finishes.

Now joint second in the all-time list of number of stage wins.  A phenomenal achievement.

For some reason, Boulting's voice reminds me of Gabriel Clarke on the football, which is very off-putting.

At last, mountains, not very big ones but mountains nonetheless, that means it's really properly started now.

Looks like Contador and Nibali have blown it already, it's Froome's for the taking if he stays upright.

A few days of bad weather and Froome's legendary bike handling skills might be put to the test, Quintana looks to be about his only rival realistically.

Poor old Sam Bennett, still he's not last anymore.

2 Brits on the podium too, McClay's first TdF and a podium finish.

I can't see Sam Bennett in the GC today, I assume he's withdrawn, shame.

edit, nope he's still hanging in there second to last, the GC hadn't updated.
