Are you watching the TdeF? It makes a welcome change from fretting about Rafa’s woes.
The French hooligans lining the roadside of the mountain climbs make the RG spectators look almost civilised.
Hey @ed251137, yes am watching TdeF. To paraphrase Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now: “The horror…………the horror”. Froomie has this in the bag, no? I was hoping for a Contador fairy tale, Giro/TdeF double in the same season. Not to be, Team Sky are beasts. Who the hell taught the British bike riding anyway???
Seems like Grigor is blaming his gf and his coach for his lack of progress.
“I wish her much happiness and success in life and in tennis. Now I’m concentrated entirely on the game and I’m sure the results will soon be seen… This is the summer of the new beginning for me.”
Meanwhile, it’s been a summer of splits for Grigor, who also parted with his coach Roger Rasheed while he fails to meet his potential as a grand slam champion.
it’s astonishingly offensive hawkeye and i really struggle to understand why ricky has allowed it.
making capital out of acts of murder and torture in an act of high self-moralisation is just beyond the pale…..never mind the offense of the juxtaposition of reports of murder in the name of islam against a christian text….
i reckon even sean randall would censor that one….
ps am really ill today (have been since early thursday so am glad you see it the same way as i do…am running a high fever so hard to trust my own reactions….)

Next……….Draw Fixing in Professional Tennis
Whoever decided to change the ATP site AND approved the new format should be strung up and left to dry.
If it ain’t broke: don’t fix it.
It could not be more opaque if you tried π
Apparently they’ve done it to make the site mobile phone friendly. I think we’re stuck with it because it must have cost them an arm and a leg.
Vamos El Pistolero!
Bloody hell, didn’t know Americans knew how to play football. My word, did they show me last night. Well done USA, well played.

John Inverdale is now officially on my black list of commentators who should be banned from commentating on tennis.
He takes some beating for sustained statements of the glaringly obvious; platitudes galore; and hackneyed cliches.

So not much a respite for me unfortunately, my favourite 2 Spanish guys are being shown the door by, in my humble opinion, lesser mortals!

**Who the hell taught the British bike riding anyway???**
I trust that is not a slur on froom, froom Froome π
^^Not at all. Froome is winning, therefore he’s Kenyan in my book. He’ll be British if and when he starts losing!
A bit like Andy Murray………… π
Mais oui! π
And?
Thank you Ricky!
Vamos Ricky!
Thank you Ricky!
Vamos Ricky!
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Amen.
Damn you Chris Froome!
what happened
He is winning, that’s what. Doesn’t have a chink in his armour. He’s making the rest of the peloton look like little girls. He won’t let Alberto win!
This has been the most dramatic TdeF for years.
#FroomFroomFroome
how so? Froome is routining everyone.
Don’t mind @ed251137, Ricky. She’s a Froome groupie………..
He looks scary. Can’t see anyone challenging him for the next 2 years at least..
Poor Bertie. Ever since he got busted for taking “sweets” he’s never been the same!
Grisha’s no more:

Next he’ll be taking credit for Misha’s relative success.
What? Thought today’s penultimate TdeF stage would be an individual TT stage, thought they’d done Alpe-d’Huez already?
….I like it though. Maybe Quintana can make one last push and rattle Froome’s cage…….
Don’t see even a podium for Bertie…………..
The Alps, quel magnifique!
Vamos Bertie!

Hmmm, Quintana looks cooked already….
Froomie doesn’t have to do anything…….
#QED
Ah well, gotta give the devil his due……….too good Froomie!
…bet he’ll snag the King of The Mountains jersey to boot. TdeF came too soon after the rigours of the Giro for Bertie obviously..
Valverde attacks!
