@JoseBeenTV He needs to think about how he could negatively affect the race.

God help these people

@PaoloIskandar64 It’s the best all-nighter I’ve done for a while.

This is the strangest GE I have ever experienced.

@100Climbs Not for climbers.

Oh crap, we all have to wear shite nose pieces on our glasses now.

Rees-Mogg has gone! #Moggzit

@fairydusts71 @IanDunt So it’s her v Hunt in next leadership contest then.

@IanDunt I'm unbelievably pissed off. And now Badenoch wins. Ugh.

Brutal few minutes. IDS and Dowden keep their seats. Farage secures his. Ashworth loses his. All utterly terrible results.

@IanDunt IDS lucky that Labour split their vote by deselecting their original candidate— otherwise he’d have lost by 6,000+ votes

@100Climbs Not fair, I once made an identical pass as a 4th Cat on a Majorca training camp ride and got a bollocking later at the Bunyola cafe stop.

Who is looking forward to this again today?

@ammattipyoraily Most of F. Schleck’s time was set by Cadel chasing down the winner.

@MarcDavenant Mould is a sign of fuel poverty and ineffective insulation.

@carltonkirby @MarkCavendish Simply, a winner.

Genius! ....a privilege to share the planet with him.@MarkCavendish

@100Climbs Or politicians.

Never EVER trust polls.

Thanks, Graham. Yes, during the great freeze of Christmas 1962 all our pipes froze. My dad and I would wrap up our poo in newspaper and put it in a Harrods or Fortnum’s bag, drive to Ipswich and leave it on the front seat with the door unlocked. Always gone when we returned. A slow but certain way of flushing….

@PaoloIskandar64 Only how many bottles of red wine needed for election drinking game. And hangover anxiety.

Anyone feeling election anxiety?

Bunting going up now. I’m tempted to skip riding to the Col du Galibier tomorrow and watch the race swoop round the corner that’s at the top of the slope and a couple of minutes from my door.

A few weeks ago our long steep hill got a surprise new surface — after years of neglect it was so cracked it was like cobblestones — and today the direction signs for tomorrow’s ⁦@LeTour⁩ went up, so I’m guessing the mayor used the race to get a subsidy to improve the road.

@PaoloIskandar64 @GirlGiada It would be an amazing turnaround after their near wipeout last time.

@GirlGiada I hope you are right. But I am not sure this will be the case.

I, in my alter ego Nostragiada, have crunched the numbers and I believe that the LibDems will become the official opposition. According to my calculations, it is within a handful of votes. Please do not bet based on this prediction.

@100Climbs Kirby & Kelly were pretty negative until 1km to go. That win was about belief.

I’m calling it early. Bardet has this.

@theiaincameron It’ll make a better spectacle, assuming the road below the Lauteret is repaired in time after last week’s rain-induced mud slides.

It’s a matter of days now until stage 4 of the Tour de France passes through the Col du Galibier, and it’s not yet clear of last winter’s snow. 📷 Strava / Julien Dussuchale
