What a superb day for the Tour today! I know it was a gloriously sunny day, but I spent all afternoon indoors watching Le Tour on TV. Now obviously the whole world has slipped into some kind of parallel dimension at the moment because ITV were showing live coverage of the race today with commentary by Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin. (No it doesn’t make any sense to me, that the channel which last week dropped an expensive Hugh Laurie drama, and Brian Conley vehicle because they weren’t performing, is taking time out to show live cycling, but you won’t see me complaining. I just don’t quite expect to see it next year – that’s all).
Anyway, a fabulous finish which saw Armstrong in yellow – but is he beatable? That’s the question now – and the answer at the moment must be yes…
