    They should neutralise the bonus seconds at the top of the mountain after that. The whole
    Stage turned on that one moment.

    utterly shambolic

    Worse bets. Watched some of the Scottish Open and Rory won that with a mostly stone cold putter. His 66 on day 2 included at least half a dozen missed putts from around 6 foot. I’ll swerve him at 7/1 though. Morikawa for me at 30/1.

    So we win the toss, think about it, then bowl...!! This England team has to now create history by being the first team at Old Trafford to win the toss and bowl first. They don't do things by half's do they...?!?! :emoticon-0138-think :emoticon-0112-wonde :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Vingegaard remorseless - Pogacar is done I'm afraid.

    After they looked so closely matched, Vinegaard took over 7 minutes out of Pogacar in the last 2 stages. Can't help thinking the interrupted prep has finally caught up with Pogacar today.

    How the hell have we smashed nearly 600 past the Aussies to lead by 275 with all this time left in the Test match...!!

    Such a shame that JohnnyB came up 1 run short on his ton but it has left England in such a strong position only the weather can stop us making it 2-2 now, surely...??

    Jasper throwing his toys out the pram two days in a row. Got to love the dynamics of road racing in cycling.

    Are we on for a breakaway winning on the streets of Paris?

    Looking at the weather forecasts it’s going to all be to no avail. What idiot schedules a test match in Manchester in July?

    England missing their captain Leah Williamson really badly. She was the cement in the European Championships and for me the player of the tournament..

    I never understand why they don't have the first Test at Old Trafford: get it over with.

    We have a really poor record at that ground. Wouldn't want to get off to a poor start.

    Lovely video of them building Vingegaard's bike from the 2022 TdF. Having built a few bikes myself, its amazing and beautiful to see how the pros do it. Love the tool for installing the bottom bracket :emoticon-0152-heart
