But, I can assure you (believe me or not) I won’t be watching WC. I will be out running an cycling.
If the tour is as good as the giro; there’s something that you missed off your ‘optional entertainment’ ��
Yet again as Champs says: ‘what the hell are we doin in Russia’?

It’s good to rant !
Despair, my wife and I are avid watchers of the TdF, the Giro and the Vuelta.
This year's Giro was brilliant.
I know Froome raises a lot of mixed feelings, but his climbs on Zoncolan and up to Sestriere were epic. I've read a lot of reports about the minutely-detailed plans Froome and his team made before that Sestriere stage. Talk about ruthless! I felt sorry for Yates, but I also felt in awe of what Froome did.
By the way, quite apart from the sport, the scenery makes us very nostalgic!
