We were supposed to be going to a bbq today but it has been called off due to bad weather, a shame but we can do it another time and our gardens really need this rain.

I was delighted for Geraint Thomas - a nicer, or more deserving, winner is almost impossible to think of

I was teary yesterday. We have seen him many times when he was on the track and have watched him become the strong confident rider he is today.

I think it was when he cycled the whole of the Tour with a broken pelvis that I first realised what a gutsy rider he is

Interesting too that yet another winner of the Criterium goes on to claim the Yellow jersey in the Tour.

I wonder if he'll ride the Vuelta? It'll be interesting to see if Sky can win all three classics this year

All day non stop. I'm not complaining. I took dog out earlier and got wet through and didn't care. Better than that insufferable heat.

We have our windows open and at times have had goosebumps

I don't know how many people on here folow the Tour De France but we follow it every year and this year has been pretty special, I have cried tears of joy for Geraint Thomas.

I watched the whole of the last stage today. I wouldn't normally sit still for that duration but I am feeling grotty with a sore throat so it was perfect and very special win.

There is a radio commercial that starts out "Who would win a race, a "Tour" rider on a tenspeed or an 11 year old girl on a tricycle?" News flash twit, I don't know any 11 year old, boy or girl that rides a tricycle!Most are on bikes before age 7.

Radio and tv commercials over here are really quite bad at times, 1 local radio station is so banal it is unreal

What a difference a day makes, folks at work are back in long sleeve tops, shivering and complaining about the cold
