When Life Gives You Limoges...

Catching up on yesterday's highlights first:

...or lowlights, as the case may be.

Oh Richie. I mean it's just a disaster, what else can you say. Just have to move on.

What nationality is Sam Bennett? This is confusing.

Ok suddenly he sounds fully Irish now but he was like legit German there for a sec.

Apparently Matti Breschel used to be a male model? This is not a joke.

There is no excuse for Shane Archbold's hair.

God that sprint was fucking cray.

Oh god poor Greipel I feel bad he thought he won...

A lot of people were excited when we got the boys back together

Those kids on the podium kill me.

I never think about to be like lion. WHAT IS THIS MAN EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS GOLD

My father is here with the car. And we put everything in the car. Is his response to WHAT'S IT LIKE WINNING ALL THE MAJOR JERSEYS OF THE SPORT.

Ok, onto today's news:

Dave went out into Limoges and bought a trivia fact book about the Tour de France, just in case.

Tell less stories about Chris Boardman and more stories about Robbie McEwan selling cows.

BOOM. Lil Tom and his combativity numbers.

Ahhhhh I knew it was Christian!

They've nicked Christian from next door to chat to us.

Sort of. I mean it is still VDV, 'chat' is maybe not the correct term.

Legitimate question: Is Cofidis in this race?

Because Bora is totes playing the Cofidis role these days, breakaway-wise.

Interesting intermediate sprint...

Etixx put like the entire team on that and then Peter just strolled by.

... Apparently today is a livelier day but...

There's no one in this break to be really gung-ho for.

We need to chill out on this EBH chat. As if Cav was EVER in his shadow.

The World Series of Darts. Come on.

Oh man break is down.

Julian Vermotte has really been crushing it lately.

Aggggh we're in mind meld! He looks like a gazelle in a museum diorama there though.

We're over Oradour-sur Glane now.

Oh man I've never seen it before actually. That was quite haunting.

Lare Bear experiences Le Tour like all of us.

Some terminology chat: Is this a 'drag' or a 'climb'? Well, sometimes its a 'false flat', sometimes it's a 'kicker'...

They've settled on drag.

20k about 25 seconds for the break.

I keep sort of forgetting what Direct Energie's game is up here.

Soz Brian Coquard.

Yeah it is weird actually we literally haven't seen any Team Sky all day.

Unless you count DanceClub DeathStar and Nico's amazing debriefs.

Woah Lars Bak not super happy there for a sec.

Oh hello Sky.

Adam Hansen KILLIN IT on the front here

He's nearly breaking away on accident.

WHEW that's some shit ass traffic furniture!

Everyone is cray

Oh John you poor soul I forgot sort of you were there.

Bernie TAKES OVER this screen, even from miles away

Downhill til 600 meters to go!?! THIS IS INSANE

I've seen nothing but thousands of bottles being thrown from every side, it's chaos.

FLAMME

INTERESTING

ETIXX IS COMING UP

god the crowds are immense

It's chaos
KATUSHA?!

GET OUT

WHO ARE YOU ETIXX

THERE ARE THREE OF THEM

WHO

IS THAT HIM??

Oh I see

Greipel?

NOT KRISTOFF NO

WHO IS UP THERE

THIS ANGLE IS USELESS

WHAT



WHO WON

WHO WON

WHAT THE

THIS IS TOO MUCH

Got to be Kittel hasn't it?
THIS IS MAD

THAT IS MAD

YOU CANNOT EVEN TELL

They've shown every possible angle and none of them are clear!

YASSSS they're giving git to Kittel

AHHH THANK GOD

Geez I never thought I'd feel sorry for Kittel but I was and they were shitting all over the Etixx train just then SO WELL DONE YOU

Oh man I think he's just dying.

I mean seriously.

Are they doing bonus seconds again? I'll have to see how I feel about that.

Seb Piquard, voice of Radio Tour, interviews Marcel!

He's a sweet man.

Are the most common words spoken in cycling: 'bit of a sketchy final'?
