Yeah. Fuckers.

Yeah we recently had a bout of epic racism and bigotry over our way, because of some (I quote) "illegals living near the train station"

Is this for real...?

Tbh, even normal ppl get a skewed idea. My MiL suggested I show her where I grew up... I warned her it wasn't very nice.. but she insisted. So we went to visit Redruth and Camborne.

She promptly declared it a dump, not proper Cornwall and sulked... so I took her to Mousehole and the Minack *shrugs*

Thank you for making this point re. Rich people going on holiday and getting a skewed view of the county

Yours sincerely, a woman whose family were working class china clay miners for at least 150 years... and who grew up in mess that was Redruth in the 80s and 90s.

Former soldier + TV personality Ant Middleton (who wants to run for Mayor of London - was hoping to go for the Reform nomination) wants to ban Kemi Badenoch, Priti Patel, Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman, as well as Sadiq Khan, and Boris, Churchill and King Charles III from government roles

Ditto! All very odd..

Tenerife? How delightfully 80s/90s.

Hah nw! I thought that might be the case.. before the ridiculous Jegat raid on S20.

Wasn't jegat 10th on GC, rather than 11th?

Three key moments...

1. The final few laps today. THAT attack.
2. Oscar Onley somehow holding on to the wheel of Vinge and Pogacar
3. Picnic Postal NL train

That looks like a man who is retiring but hasn't yet told the media..

A couple of massive crashes last year.. poor bastard.

He had flashes of brilliance at the giro but to go clear like that having looked pretty average all race... love it
.

"Just pedal faster, eh?"

You love to see it.

Oh I burst into tears and am exhausted now.

Still shaking after that #tdf2025 stage. That was epic...

One of my fave riders of the tour tbh.

I have found the GC race boring I will be honest. Luckily sub plotz appeared (as they usually do). The rise of Lipowitz and Onley, Healy doing Healy things. Arensmen tbh saved what would have been a dull stage today.

The whole tour ride has been. From a lad coming in to do stages to probably end up 4th on GC...? Amazing scenes.

The only sensible outcome after the last couple of weeks.

Super mature ride from Onley. To think at one stage he was so far down on Lipo and Roglic.

Almost glad I was ill today so I could spend the day watching the #tdf2025. I am only invested in the third place battle so utterly enjoyed it.

And feel very sorry for those who have to try to turn that into 15 mins/highlight packages..

You love to see it! And great to see Picnic PostNL do a great ride for Oscar...

I sadly only watched today cos I was far too exhausted after a run earlier to do anything else. I have kinda checked out for the rest, other than to see what happens in the white jersey/third place competition

Yep.

Heh, and that in no way relates to my other response re how I have jacked in the TdF this year. Honest.

I love Onley's humour.

Heh, pulling out of events someone has expected to win with spurious reasoning is high on my suspicious list.
