Yates & Gaudu leave Pogačar, going to be a lot of minutes now.

Jeez, morons on parade!

Vingegaard cracks Pogačar! He’s in big trouble now!

Quintana not going to be Mr Popular he steals his French team-mate’s victory.

Roglič in trouble, so Pogačar helpfully stabs him in the back. Thomas goes, so its v now.

Roglič, Vingegaard, Pogačar & Thomas fighting it out now!

Van der Poel abandons. Roglič & team put in a dig on the Telegraphe with 70k left.

Here's Version 2.0 of my Oregon Time Calculator - calculate the time of every event in Oregon anywhere in the world. Incorporates some corrections, and minor last minute official changes to the scheduling up to the latest -2 days timetable. As before it's basic Excel, but pm me if you can't open it and I'll try a different format. Oregon time calculator.xls

Apparently unless the French government passes some legislation the world will end in <checks watch> 989 days. Or 990 if you live in

Hey guys, this sounds great! How can I find out more about this brilliant plan? Oh, well, too bad. I'm sure it'll all work out - after all, you're only four years in.

Textbook idiocy from the lead group there.

Organisers messed up that interruption - gave about two free minutes to the breakaway.

They wouldn’t be France’s first flying saucer mass suicide cult. It’s always the Alps as well.

Well, the mystery is that all the people I see living in Edinburgh are never particularly happy with it, so it's all a bit strange.

It has the advantage of being flat. Edinburgh is built on the side of a Moebius strip - no matter where you want to go it is always uphill.

See, how blessed I am and I don't even realise it. The next time I have to wait at a bus stop in the rain for 20 minutes with a load of heavy bags, I will be grateful. Edinburgh is the best city in the world right now, according to Time Out. The guide's 2022 World's Best Cities Index says that Edinburgh's beauty and walkability has earned it the coveted title, with Chicago in second place, the Colombian city of Medellin in third, Glasgow in fourth and Amsterdam in fifth place. The world's best 53 cities in 2022 ranked by Time Out - and it's Edinburgh that takes the No.1 spot | Daily Mail Online

Enough to pay for one coffee each in

Pinot on a charge for the win, French will go nuts if he gets there. Well, the good news for Pinot is that no-one smacked him in the face today, but he didn’t quite find that last 200m.

He’ll be up at 05:00 to clean the cars for the rest of the Tour.

Unbelievable bad luck for Thibaut Pinot. First he crashes, then literally a minute later he goes to pick up a musette & his soigneur hits him in the face with it!

Sagan in another crash, looking ruefully at a broken bike.

Ok, I think the one thing that is lying between power-lifting & universal public acceptance is this whole “you’ll die horribly if you drop it” vibe.

Ooh, that’s a tough final climb. Down to the lakeside at Ouchy & up to the athletics stadium….I always took the bus. Pogučar written all over it, probably literally unless the Swiss Police anti-vandalism squad have been busy overnight.

As we’ve seen here, the middle-ranked Euro nations are not sending big teams, which opens up places fir everyone else.
