Now for a brutal few days ahead for the fastmen... let's hope Cav' and his babysitters can get through and to set up the fairytale in Paris.

Mørkøv The Magician; notice how he backs off in true service to the team objective and ensures that The Manx Missile wins the stage.

How Mark got fit enough to get this far with a last-minute call up to the fast-moving circus around France in July - incredulous. Never mind competing and dominating the finalès.

So few people know that professional cycling is a teamwork.

In your profession, surely you give him massive kudos for his mental toughness to be able to pick himself up from where he was to where he is now?

I am absolutely loving this ‘new Cav’ fast, but so humble about it!

Well done Cav you have made a fan out of a critic. ???? 

A true fan would go buy those gold Katos and LSD to Windsor Castle and take piccies for BikeHub. ????

With about 60k to go. Right nasty one too. Lloydy reckons it was due to gravel on the side of the road and the full gas racing due to PhilGil's short lived attack.

It all happened so quickly and unexpectedly that I don't think the cameras got much of it.

By the time they did, guys were hanging in trees.

Seems the pelo is starting to wake up....

Sean Bennet from Quebecka seems intent on slowing down the 3 man break by attacking it every 10 seconds..... with 65km to go. 

Now the ISN guy is attacking? Is there free Pizza for the first guy into the next town?

Is Social distancing still an option to use?

The Alternative Tour: 160 hours, nearly 4000 kms and roughly 50 000 m vert, with carbon inserts in his sloffies (gift from from a fan) and a lekka fresh baguette. Funds raised for the Bicycle Relief Fund, 249.000 pounds.

Some good aerial footage, especially the castle with 4.5Km to go. Maybe it’s a family member of the Supersport producer.

Also don’t get the commentators saying that Philipson could have taken it. Wasn’t even close; almost a full bike length.

Happy for Cav, have always enjoyed his interviews.

Last photo… many moons ago. GT was riding for Barloworld in 2008.

When, yes when, the DQS bullet train delivers Cav to 35 I hope they give him a couple minutes to find some composure before the interview. Shame the guy was ruined. What a ramble afterwards haha
