Crikey! Mind, that hail and mud slide were something else.
Yes but how did the French arrange that weather and mud slide? 😁 I think had the stage finished as it should have JA would have lost more time, yes he can desend like a mad man but then he had to climb again..
I was thinking it was all about to kick off as if it's taken 78hrs to get them separated, Bernal and Yates would have worked together with hopefully Yates taking another stage, although EB wouldn't have just handed it to him at 22 years old I don't think, G was looking strong who knows what we lost out on??
I don't see how there is enough road for anything to change tomorrow?
And what a shame for Pinot, I had meant to look what odds he was for the stage and yellow thinking it was his to steal, but a busy day meant i didn't

The fear is around the metal rotors coming into contact with flesh during accidents in group riding / racing. There were lots of similar concerns expressed at all levels of cycling but disc bikes are taking over slowly, even at club level.

Owain doull
Ventuso
Jorgenson
That last one is particularly interesting, because it happened as the rider fell into Jorgenson's right leg, so the left hand side of the other rider's bike. There's nothing there that could do that level of damage - except the disc brake
I see what you mean now, i was thinking the speeds their going they will get hurt regardless, but some of those pics look really bad.

I'm not sure what the early drama was? Was it a rider dropping out?
Just watched the highlights, and was starting to think wow it's on big time and boom!
I'll say no more till later 😯

I’m open minded on disks, The manufacturers will gradually phase callipers out, I would think it must be pretty straightforward to build a shroud over the disk to help prevent any injuries. Many of the bikes in the pro peloton have weight added to achieve the 6.8kg limit. More and more bikes are through axle now and Riders very often just change bikes rather than a wheel if there’s an issue.
2 more days, come on JA! 😁
Why do you say disks will cause injuries? I've got an older bike so it has calipers, but wouldn't have thought that disks would cause problems?

obviously a few films I've not seen, hobo with a shotgun sounds fun, I have got blade runner so think I'll put that on at the weekend.

watching the highlights it looks like the problem was the afters they were giving each other.
Good stage today and like i thought very scary on the finish, NQ certainly had a good day and stage win, I always think the fans are crazy on the climbs but the Columbians went loopy.
Did you see JA get the water thrown in his face? 21.8 km to go? I ran it back and it looked like a water bottle?
So two more mountain finishes will settle it, all up hill, the decent saved JA today I thought, can't wait 😁

This has turned into another Brexit thread.
I've got a good feeling regarding Boris in charge, and am for the first time in ages, feeling rather positive about his PMship. 🙂
It was always going to because that's what people want, brexit dealt with.
hopefully the fact he had such a large majority means the tory party is behind him in dealing with brexit.
He's been described as a hit with an S, let's hope so, I don't see what use a PM is if their too nice.
let's hope he delivers on October 31st without any excuses

I'm probably them only one who felt a small sympathy for Mrs May today. She left the House, clearly emotional, after her final PMQs, to a rousing cacophony of clapping and cheering....,.....by the very people who stabbed her in the back and deserted her when she needed their support !
They might well have been cheering because she was going, happy she's done?

just hope it wasn't an indirect assault on Ineos to limit their hopes of beating the French incumbent of the Yellow Jersey - or is that too cynical of me!?
Does make you wonder?? Seemed very harsh to me, i hope they can appeal, i understand it could have been dangerous had they gone down but they didn't???
The Alps is going to settle it obviously, tomorrows three mountains and a down hill finish could hopefully throw up a few surprises, but the down hill finishes do scare me when you realise what kind of speeds their doing.
Roll on 7pm tomorrow 😊

some great films, salute to the jugger, a bit out there but i always enjoyed it, blind furry springs to mind as well.
-
There was something on the news or in the paper about the amount of people that have been done thanks to folk uploading their camera footage of bad/ dangerous driving, while i agree there should be more traffic police about, they never seem to be about when some Muppet is trying to get in your boot.

You have got married recently.
Lots of work, lots of planning and excitement. You and your Mrs would have been in the thick of it before and on the day and the centre of attention.
Its quieter now and back to the normal world. Its bound to feel a bit empty now it's all done.
This makes a lot of sense, guessing with the wedding having taken time and money and focus your wondering what's next?
Must also be harder doing 6 days a week knowing it's your own business, everyone needs to be able to relax and get away from work, enjoy the camping with the family 👍

loads of rain 1:15 & 4:15 Ulverston, i didn't hear the thunder.

Some of the locals left for fiesta some didn't. That was the only concession to the mid summer heat.
I'm sure you meant siesta but being Ford and saying fiesta made me laugh😁😁
Had a shower then used the frozen peas to cool down.

bring it on, where are you and which way is it coming? Hope it brings a breeze?

Someone was asking about grouse moor link [mice?] but i cant find the post, well this mail came up from GWCT just now. might be of interest...... hope it works
I said something about I'm sure a study would be a good idea showing how things change once game keeping stops, that survey nails it, the antis are quick to shout when something illegal is done, but very quiet about how well wildlife fares on managed land 👍

And it's Borris, so let's get on with it.

what usually happens???
Have you never been shooting rabbits? They don't tend to sit still for long periods of time, or they'll sit still then another one comes along and chases it.

The saying it's all fun till someone starts crying seems apt. I bet they were crying laughing seeing men jump and look around.
do you mean all fun till someone looses an eye? What we all did years ago "with our mates" is a world away from taking pot shots at someone in the high-street, it might have just been a bb gun but what if one of them decided to use an air rifle instead?
-
End of the day it was gun crime, could have easily hit you in the eye, and as always it was down to some err, brown and you might step in it.
Sounds like the police did a cracking job, twelve bobbies seems a bit much but better than, yeah we know.

And the UK has no laws about these temperatures in the workplace.
Spain etc if it goes above 30 you get sent home.
My van (no air con) will be like a small forge and in London traffic even with the windows open will be unbearable.
Not looking forward to it at all.
I can see fan sales rocketing.
30 in Spain doesn't seem much, they'll never be in work from July till October?
On the Bright side the kids are off and mine are in the garden making dens, tomorrow I'll have a boiler suit on hoping for a breeze.

I don't believe in it. I think it's just when you realise your old enough to afford the things you wanted but couldn't afford when you were younger.
What are you hankering for, please don't say a much younger racier wife 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
does it not mean your hangover lasts three days, and you'll never drink again, at least that's what your saying.

Some number of traps that Clem, and the difference of being paid and having a few hours a week.
Interestingly there is a squirrel group operating down south, shooting on feeders, along side a full time trapper, the shooters are taking more squirrels and they've found there is still tree damage in the trappers area compared with the areas being shot.
Loki, problem now is natural food, you might not get much on feeders for the next few months as the squirrels enjoy natures bounty, but think big with your feeders so there not running out, that way once they start coming they'll keep coming.
Happy to say the wood behind me still only has the odd squirrel in it, took over two years but rairly see one now and the song birds have increased massively, it was crawling with them, I keep expecting a load more to turn up but not yet.
