He's rather good isn't he!
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

Cav 'aint winning today, or so it looks. Reading his body language last night I think he might be happy for a bit of a rest!
It even seems like the wind is dropping which could cause havoc in the closing stages.
My young 'un is down for podium duty for the green jersey presentation later, so I'll let you know if Cav lets anything slip backstage. :)
There's a good young Brit in the breakaway today in Connor Swift. One for the future for sure.

Looks like only a small breakaway today, possibility of strong crosswinds later, and a very dodgy and technical finale into Carcassone. Any predictions? Could be one for Cav today!

There's got to be a good chance.

What a hero, I'm so happy for him.
When they bring out another one of those big hardback coffee table books about the history of the Tour de France, he will be in there, and always in there for the future.

And Gong.
And Hawkwind.

A consequence of the sarnies?

He's from the Isle of Man, so has the obvious advantage of three legs.

That poses some interesting mechanical challenges.
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

I went out for a trudles around the lanes for 1hr25 just now. Did some criss-crossing of the valley to make it different from the normal out & back routes. Warm but some spitty rain at times, was pleasant though, felt a lot better than I did on a walk yesterday afternoon.
Think I might try to go up to the Lakes on Tue/Wed and try & strike off two more Wainwrights.
