If you're a pro at the Tour, would you be so kind as to let me know what thoughts pop into your mind as Pog passes you? I've included what, I guess, are the most popular answers. Cheers in advance. 👍

Just been in a very frickin' posh ebike shop here in Anglet. Owned by a local jeep, honda, Mercedes dealership group. I was a bit negative at first about it. But shit me are they're shifting some units. Which is a great thing, new rich bums on bikes.

Well, Pog just went down in my estimation. BLACK SOCKS! I'm no gate keeper. Wear what you want...unless you're a pro. I've mentioned it before, but I once spoke with Brian Holm and he said he refused Levi Leipheimer a new contract for wearing grey socks.

What is Pog buying his team mates and staff to say thanks for the help to his win?

I'm home for a bit to help dad wind the shop down. It's going to be a sad day in a few weeks. But great as in his retirement he'll have time to get out on the bike more, and hopefully have some small tagalongs too. Gonna miss Brucie's Bike Shop.

No stool for the Olympics. Shop viewing instead.

One of the great long lost bike races. And found in the "Great Brucie's Bike Shop Clean Up". Porthole Grand Prix Wine!!! I think I won this when I was 16, back in 1997!!

this year's works holiday was two weeks away in Paris

Here's a man who knows how to make a beverage. 👇 Just doing the maths and worked out that in the past 45 years my dad has had the bike shop, he's roughly made about 135,000 brews. Beat that Costa.

Yes frickin please

Quentin knows best. The fourth ruins all that Woody stands for. If there is a 5th, they need to retcon the 4th. Have it as Woody's fever dream. Yes this is a film I (oddly) have strong feelings about. Anyway, enough from my random (but passionate) rant.

My 3 yr old finishes her Cereal. "You want anything else?". 3 year old: "baby gerkins".

For starters we had Early Doors. Amazing show. Secondly, if it's based in today's drinking establishments it's either held in a sticky floored Weatherspoons, an unbearable Brew Dog, or a local that is unfortunately on its knees. All with jokes about over priced booze!

Gonna be sad not to bump in to this legend at any future races. A proper gent, one of the guys I have mad respect for. And I think he'll agree, that his greatest achievment was the (unoficial) 2016 TDU Stage 7 Rickshaw race. I just wish I could find the video.

My kids don't seem impressed by the trick I pulled once for Halloween. I found a huge stack of the same ugly postcard a few days before Halloween. So I used them by dropping one off at each home that asked for a trick, each morning before school for about two weeks straight.

Ok people. I'm in need of advice. I'm back in trying to get fit, and I'm in need of a challenge for 2025, bike related. Come at me with your ideas. Challenging but now't too mental, I do have fatigue induced epilepsy after all. So no Race Across America type craziness.
