I don't know how happy I would be if these rider chuck bottles into my garden[emoji35]

Don't look a gift bottle in the mouth. What a souvenir.

 

You might loose it during the August and offer a reward for its safe return, it would potentially mean so much to you.

Today they ride through the fields of the Battle of the Somme where over 1 million young men (boys) on both sides were killed or wounded.

 

I know this article was written last year, but I had to come back to it because it was so well written. And for fans of the TDF, so relevant.

 

Remembering the early TDF stars who were killed in the First World War.

 

"They all rode the Tour de France and all have their names inscribed on war memorials around the French countryside: Mort Pour la France. They swapped the Hell of the North and the mud of the unmade roads of the Tour for the hell and the mud of No Man’s Land. They are les disparus: the "disappeared" – how curiously beautiful and moving, as if they simply rode into the dust clouds of the pavés or the lost and secret corners of the mountains and never came back."

 

Beautifully written.

I don't know if Bling should continue. . He looks bloody sore.. maybe he should just maybe think of his health and body instead.

The peloton is still riding into the headwind but will turn right with 79km to go ands the attacks and echelons could begin.
