I have acute indigestion - do U think it's stress  :-\.  It's the intermittent drizzle over there that will make/break the results.

At least the crowds on the road side seems less wild!

Feeling happier than 40 minutes ago but tomorrow when he crosses the line it'll be such a relief  ;D

Pessimistic welsh person complex is off the scale   :hotflash:

I bet I can top that pessimism  ;D

To have his wife flown in is great too!  Wonder if he gave her the flowers, usually he throws them to the crowd  ;).  Will we find out, if I could tweet  ::)

Don't the various media crews do a Very Good Job!  When I next see Ned Bolting I will tell him so although he doesn't do the womens' tour as it clashes with the Giro  ::)

Of course - Spain next, le Veulta  8)

He made me cry when he couldn't talk in the interview, I think David Brailsford giving him a huge hug made him really emotional, he was ok when his wife hugged him  ::)

His wife works on a welsh cycling programme called seicleo, (pronounced sigh cleo)  ;D so she might have been there all the time but I noticed he didn't throw the flowers into the audience. He's  got a really good collection of lions to add to the yeti he won when he led the young rider white jersey a few years ago.

The TVs coverage is brilliant, not just the race but the scenery, I didn't see Didi today maybe he's on his way to Paris  ::)

Ned said during the commentary as she arrived, that she flew in this morning and that they drove her somewhere to hide ........ at least Peter Sagan made it to the end, I really want to go over and massage his wounds  :-\ ..... but he probably has a Wife somewhere  ::).  Wonder why they don't have a tour through Slavinia?

Lovely to see Tom congratulating Team Sky .........

HHHHmmm - how do you know that he's got a collection of lions  :P  ;D ...........   :whist:

Perhaps now we won't get asked what flag is that so often when we off are watching cycling  ;D

He's such a nice person we've spoken to him and had photos many times, we have decided to celebrate with a cheesecake and a glass of wine. Well done Geraint

Yep that's the one, in September, OVO Energy again.  Himself has worked out where we will be standing  ;D Don't think that I can cope with the crowds in Leamington.
