Just back from the far end of my garden, where I made Malcolm Tucker sound like Mother Teresa

I've just had (probably) my first cycling bet of the season, on tomorrows Roubaix.

A fiver on Skybar @ 28/1 - stealing money.
& for shits and giggles
£1 ew on Edwards Theuns @ 125/1 - giving money.

Actually I can feel another wave coming so I'm just heading back there, toodles.

Oh jesus freakin wept...


I've only just noticed Eddie Theuns came in 8th, 12 seconds down.



Thank god it ain't raining, bye again.

5th and 9th and PP were paying out on first 4 places rather than usual first 3.

So between us we picked 4 of the first 9 finishers, and didn't collect a penny.

While [MENTION=12656]Pantani[/MENTION] somehow, from out of nowhere, selects Greg VA, for the winnings.

Just got back in from the annual pilgrimage. been going since 1993 and the crowds have got bigger and bigger - unbelievable today! Feel like I inhaled most of Northern France just standing by the road, so good knows what its like to ride!

Certainly hotting up now! 40km to go, race starts to fracture.

What welcome sporting drama after yesterday.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Quick Step and the Belgium teams want this more than anything, hard to beat.

My stream went out on sector 4, only to return when the final selection had been made.

What happened? (notice the lack of ***spoilers***)
