donsdaft Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Forget all your close season blues ( I couldn't resist that one) and celebrate the start of the worlds premier sporting event. There will be no poofy "he was entitled to go down" shite for three grueling weeks as the worlds toughest sportsmen battle it out to see who wears the yellow jersey in Paris. Saturday 1st - Sunday 23rd July Bring it on, Summer is really here. Quote

donsdaft Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Posted June 28, 2017 Aye but it's none of your poofy designer drugs. It's proper mannies "I'm going up the side of that mountain " drugs. Quote
donsdaft Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Posted June 29, 2017 It's only illegal if you get caught. If it's the good old USA that's ahead in the drug race then that's ok. Or if it's TEAM GB that appear from nowhere to suddenly win loads of gold medals then no one need ever mention that. The Tour is everything I hate in sport. Professional as fuck, clarted in sponsorship, almost unfathinable to outsiders, tactical beyond belief. I fuckin love it. Quote
baggy89 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Posted June 29, 2017 Drugs in sport should be legal. It's the next step in human evolution. I want to see someone going under 8 seconds for the 100m, or something mental like a sub 1:45 marathon. Fuck the Paralympics I want to see the Superolympics. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Posted July 4, 2017 That was some finish. Looks like Cav's tour is over before it starts. Quote
manc_don Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 That was some finish. Looks like Cav's tour is over before it starts. Sounded like a sore one Talk of getting Sagan disqualified, haven't seen the incident but apparently there was an elbow? Quote
donsdaft Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Posted July 4, 2017 Difficult to tell. They all seemed to lurch to the right and Cav just ran out of space. Looked like Sagan having a go to me but the experts are saying no. Hit his head badly though, sprinters need helmets right enough. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Posted July 4, 2017 I'd be very surprised if Cavendish doesn't give up the race. They're tough bastards though. Quote
manc_don Posted July 4, 2017 Report Posted July 4, 2017 I'd be very surprised if Cavendish doesn't give up the race. They're tough bastards though. Mentalists, hence why I guess so many of them are on juice. What time are highlights on ItV? Quote
donsdaft Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Posted July 4, 2017 That's the live coverage just finished now. I'm not sure about the highlights, used to be 6.30. Sounds like his shoulder is fucked, that would be the end of the race for him. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Posted July 4, 2017 Aye, broken shoulder, better luck next year. Sagan thrown out, it did look dodgy like. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 7, 2017 Author Report Posted July 7, 2017 A whole days cycling and the race is won by 3mm A very enjoyable and entertaining first week. Bring on the mountains. Vive la France. Quote
manc_don Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 Looking forward to watching the highlights an tomorrow! Quote
manc_don Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 A whole days cycling and the race is won by 3mm A very enjoyable and entertaining first week. Bring on the mountains. Vive la France. Just saw the highlights, what a finish! Quote
manc_don Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Hopefully a good day today. Some of the climbs they have to do sound spectacular Quote
donsdaft Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Posted July 9, 2017 Rain !!! They're all over the place in the descents Glad I'm just sitting here drinking beer Quote
manc_don Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 How did Thomas break his collarbone? Big fall? Shame he's out of the rest of the tour, good rider. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Posted July 9, 2017 I'd be happy enough to see Sky bugger it up. Wouldn't wish that on him though. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Posted July 9, 2017 Jesus fuck! What a day. There may well be two more weeks to go but they will struggle to beat today for drama. Quote
manc_don Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Jesus fuck! What a day. There may well be two more weeks to go but they will struggle to beat today for drama. That was intense! I was watching it on delay, but wow, that climb and the descent then the ending! Froome set some pace going up that mountain. Quote
donsdaft Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Posted July 9, 2017 Aye, you have to hand it to him. He seems a right boring bastard when sitting being protected in the peleton but questions were asked today and he had all the answers. Quote
