O/T Tour de France

[Christies Child]

great to see the tour de france on again, i watch it every year, high lights during the week, and at week end live during the day.
this year is special as i am flying out to paris to watch them on the - champs elysees,
i hope to see all the main stars- i.e. lance armstrong

You lucky sod!

I doubt very much that Cavendish is earning anything like the money mentioned on here.

It was quoted during the programme that I was watching.

Supply of paid-for entertainment and the demand from fans who are prepared to pay to watch it live or on TV and buy associated merchandise...

...That's all I meant.

Then I accept your apology.























You'd have thought with his job he could write what he meant the first time...

[Mighty Red]

Ah, the Tour de France.

Now, that's what I call a proper bike race.

Night, night.

Cavendish is a very talented young man - shame he's also an arrogant sulky little shit.

Which is why he is good funny how all thses arrogant sulky sports people tend to be the ones at the top of their game the only exception is Federer.

Carl Fogarty was one of the best motorbike racers to come out of Britain in many years, but he was also petulant, sulky and arrogant, especially when he lost. He said "second is first loser". As P/T Indie suggests, perhaps that is what makes the difference between winners and also rans?
