[David Clapson]

FFS.

 

[Cid]

Well that paid off

 

[Cid]

What a finish...

 

[Cid]

I think Cav is quite happy.

 

[1927]

I think Cav is quite happy.

Hope he is, cos I’m in tears

 

[Cid]

Hope he is, cos I’m in tears

So is he tbf.

 

[David Clapson]

That was so easy! He can get more! MORE!!!

 

[Cid]

That's good interviewing too.

 

[Cid]

'Fuck'

- Cav, 2021

 

[David Clapson]

And he was supposed to be finished...FUCK!!!

 

[Mattym]

That was amazing!!!!

Between Quickstep and Alpecin they’ve won all four stages and held the yellow and green jerseys.
Hope Ala wins back yellow tomorrow and I’ll put part of my winnings from today on Kasper Asgreen as an outside bet for the ITT though it’ll probably be one of the Swiss pair.

 

[Numbers]

That's good interviewing too.

It was wan’t it.

Delighted for Cav.

I've never been so happy to see a grown man cry on TV

 

[1927]

FFS.

At the time you posted that I was flicking channels to see what else was on and I was screaming at tv how DQS had fucked it up!

 

[baldrick]

Watched the video of the last km at least 15 times now. That interview though

 

[1927]

Has anyone ever won stages 13 years apart?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

No, you’re crying…

 

[twistedAM]

Have Eurosport released any news on the condition of Carlton Kirby?

 

[David Clapson]

Just watched the ITV4 highlights. The last 2 km still seem impossible. A shame about Ned's cobblers. You can tell that he scripts his climactic remarks because they always sound so lame and out of place when he delivers them. This time he shouted STOP THE CLOCK the instant Cav crossed the line. The world cringes.

 

[1927]

Any realistic chance of Cav wearing green on podium in Paris?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Any realistic chance of Cav wearing green on podium in Paris?

If you’d asked that 24 hours ago, not a hope in hell.

Now, well of course he can, he’s unstoppable, greatest of all time, never once doubted him etc etc

 

[1927]

Doesn’t even appear in BBC sports headlines on their website and they havent posted any reference to it on their social media!

 

[1927]

If you’d asked that 24 hours ago, not a hope in hell.

Now, well of course he can, he’s unstoppable, greatest of all time, never once doubted him etc etc

If he hadn’t crashed out on first stage in 2014, been pushed out by Sagan, and missed 3 tours through illness he’d have put the record out if site years ago!
If it was a choice between beating record or green jersey in Paris what do you think he’d choose?

 

[David Clapson]

Any realistic chance of Cav wearing green on podium in Paris?

He's the favourite at oddschecker.

 

[1927]

He's the favourite at oddschecker.

I’d love to know what odds you’d have got at the end of last year’s tour or even better when he signed for a DQS squad with the current holder!

 

[David Clapson]

Or this morning! I wish I'd checked. It never occurred to me.

 

[Hollis]

Blimey - Just watched the stage, not really expecting.. - Incredible!

 

[Cid]

Had a lovely ride this evening, fuelled by cavspiration and all the worst car-wankers being indoors watching the kicky thing.

 

[David Clapson]

Cav said that Davide Ballerini broke a spoke on the run in! Yikes. It seems so old school to stop because of a broken spoke. That's pathetic. To think that Cav's win was jeopardised by shit wheels. Specialized will be furious about the PR. The whole team would be so much better off with what Jan used 18 years ago.
