In reply to Mike. Oh wait, is that what the leg glide's been about all these years? Please excuse. Sheltered upbringing etc

In reply to Mike. Don't the laws of the game specify sandpaper?

In reply to Exile. What's stopping them from shaving their legs at present?

So let me get this straight. This Tour de France thing is some sort of French Cricket derivative that forms part of the increasingly bizarre “100” proposals, where fielders are allowed to wear lycra, shave their legs and use steroids and bicycles? Must be, otherwise why on earth would it be featured on this site?

Given that we’re way off topic now, some of you might be amused by the following, which has had unusually positive feedback so perhaps is funnier than I intended it to be:

In reply to King Cricket. I’d have like to see what Nibali would have done today.

In reply to A P Webster.

Today’s kind of like the Tour’s version of T20.

Except also not, because they’ve kept all the hard bits. And they’ll actually be harder for the fact that they’ve excised the easy bits.

So not like T20 at all really, except insofar as it’s a short day.

I am very excited about Geraint Thomas. Interestingly, today’s TdF stage is itself a bit of a strange tinker with the format.
