Been a real *** last month. Landed up in hospital (while on holiday) end of Sept with suspected Viral Hepatitis. Turned out being gall stones that had blocked both the Pancreatic and Bile ducts. Had first op (ERCP Scope) done on Tuesday to remove the blockages and also to put a stent in. Gall Bladder removal set for the 5th November.

That's because there were no hills

Another sterling performance by Cavendish yesterday at the Tour of Britain: 112 EISEL Bernhard Team Dimension Data 22:45 113 CAVENDISH Mark Team Dimension Data ,, 114 ROBBINS Tristan SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling ,,

CAv performing as expected 81 33 ▼48 CAVENDISH Mark Team Dimension Data

No

100 Mark Cavendish (GBr) Team Dimension Data - not surprised at all. There was a bump in the middle (The Sternplatz)

Gibbons 2nd at Africa Games

Gibbons Gold in ITT at African Champs in Morocco

And this to go with the old school pump:

And true to form, CAV = DNF on stage two of the Adriatica as it hits the bumps.

Cavendish still no where in Adriatica Race: To quote him when he was left out of the TDF sqaud: ''The Manx missile added that he’s been following a specific training plan, designed to see him peak in July – and now feels he is in the “perfect place” to perform in France" Adriatica Criterium - Cavendish = DNF Adriatica Stage 1 - Cavendish 105th (9 mins back) Hate to see what is going to happen today when the route hits the bumps

While all the focus is on TDF, DD doing well at Tour of Austria Both O'connor and De Bod top 5 on GC (2nd and 5th respectively) DD top of team comp Last day today with a final ascent of the Kitzbuheler Horn. Avg gradient of 13% max of 24% https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-of-austria/2019/stage-5-gc https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/tour-of-austria/2019/stage-5-teams

Not Geeky, but still good

Saw on his FB page yesterday that him an Willie are horsing around in Andora.

Team submitted. I'll show you mine, if you show me yours

Submitted returns on Friday and according to the statement of account, should get reimbursed tonight.

2019 Tax returns posted for those on efiling. Already filed both mine and the wife's. Let the madness begin

Rumour has it that the team will be disbanded end of 2020

Maybe Cav can play lead out for EBH and Reinardt

Looking at the provisional TDF start list posted on cycling weekly, I cant believe that Cavendish is on that list.

Rough guess +/- R1500

What the "F" is Amla doing at the world cup?
