    Tour de France 2007 thread

    Cav was an awful dangerous so and so in early years that he won a lot of stages. The worst crash Cav caused in a 2010 Tour de Suisse sprint finish led to a rider protest the next day and Cavendish took no responsibility for it. In last 12 years or so Cav has been no more dangerous than many...

    What gig did you go to last night?

    For pure sillyness you cannot beat this clip of Obscene Extreme Festival 2024 on at moment in Czech. there seems to be a lot more people there than the usual 4,000 grinders (the arena would normally have far less people there during daylight).

    Tour de France 2007 thread

    Only interesting moment was the echelon which caught out all 7 of Pogacar's of team mates but no one else important and after about 12 minutes they just eased off and the peloton regrouped. Cavendish had a mechanical just as the brief moment of chaos started and a commissar was telling a panic...

    A pal of mine had a hereditary stomach problem and was put steroids for a few years. She swears by fermented food as part of dealing with it. Anyone whose digestive system doesn't work as well as you would like - I know how you feel. Can be very hard to get people to understand what is happening.

    Yeah no doubt. But I once mentioned eating 250 g carbs in a day and was told that was very concerning, when far worse than that is being mentioned here regularly. I have clearly stated my problems with food caused by medication many times. I have been very open and honest on this. This is a...

    Sir Cav did a brilliant sprint weaving through and following the wheels mostly without team mates. Not a fan but that was his best win for long years. Cavendish won't stay dead will he? Retired last year, didn't win a race for three years before 2021, then only got selected for 2021 Tour cause...
