Ring ring "Hola" "Checo, this is Dr Marko. Do you have any plans for next year?"

Stroll keeps pole.

Waiting for the stewards decision is like waiting for the result of the US elections. This could take a bit of time to sort out. Can't see how Stroll can keep his pole after the yellow flag incident.

We have had a lot of places close down over the last few months. It's only 2km from the finish to the end of town, so any place is not too far. La Belle Alliance on Swelengrebel would be first prize.

All the yellow and black road closure sign boards are now in place. We are about to be invaded by smooth legs and lycra. :clap: You can be glad your not riding this weekend. 40°C at the moment

Sort of bike mechanic related. When you buy a home high pressure cleaner to clean your bike, don't put your hand in front of the nozzle to test how strong it is

23 race calendar for next year. 7 too many. But what would they realistically get rid of? My pick Saudi Arabia Vietnam (possibly not going to happen next year) Abu Dhabi Bahrain Russia Singapore China

This is quickly becoming the four Yorkshire men skit

I would have been pushing my bike

My f** George.

Very disappointed with Albon today. I think Checo and the Hulk will be getting a call from the good doc Marko very soon

Brilliant last few stages. I felt sorry for the engraving machine. I think it was starting to overheat doing a name that long.

DRS sucks. Time to watch the cycling.

Mutt had his first puffy encounter yesterday afternoon. He usually jumps into the bushes sniffing everything he can find. Yesterday near the upper dam he suddenly leapt backwards, which for him is very unusual. I called him back, attached the lead an investigated. Found a 1.5m puffadder in the bush. I assume the snake made a noise and luckily mutt took a step back and not his usual rush in and ask question later.

Will have to report you to WADA for conker doping

It will get better. Stick with the physio

Ding bats

We have our roads being dug up at the moment for the fibre installation. I'm currently using LTE and very reluctant to swap over. My concern that what fail over is available in such a small town.

Hulk 3.0

Well don't I feel foolish. Didn't see yesterday's stage

I assume the peloton looked at the weather forecast and thought "bugger this". Roads look very slippery.

Its on Channel 206

Well that was the most boring start to a stage I've seen in a long time

I didn't watch any games this weekend. How does one team have 70% possession and still lose 7 - 2

I don't blame them. It's way to expensive. Bring back cheaper three litre normal aspirated engines.
