    Phil and Paul

    Phil is mashing his words so much these days. Today he had two attempts at the word clavicle and it came out "cravicule" then "clavicule".. I mean there's nowt wrong with aspirations, but maybe just "collarbone" is the safe option. Also had "Chris Fume". Obviously Chris is still angry about...

    Phil did refer to Ten Dam as "Van Dam" the other day. The previous night's Novotel movie obviously in the forefront of his mind there. :)

    According to Phil today "the first hour was raced at 38.2 kph, the second at 38.2 kph.. That's an average of 38.8 kph" and Kwiatowski was "leading the competition" Now obviously he meant the White jersey competition but if he is catering for casual fans then, to quote Paul when the Orica rider...

    A good steak on the rest day will sort Bertie out.

    Phil and Paul

    So today we had Paul on repeat: "Remember, these are men of the flatlands". "He will not lay down arms" and the sprinters "popping off the back". Then it was " This 23 year old Quintana from Boyaca at 3000 meters" after every ad break. Is Paul taking backhanders from the Colombian...

    Cadel Evans Discussion Thread

    Cadel will not win the tour again. He owned 2011 and that was his but he has always been about "pegging back" on climbs and he will struggle with the younger riders from now on in. He can turn in a good time trial but he's not top tier there either anymore. Wiggins has him licked in those...

    :eek: About 40k to go in today's stage, Paul was talking about a local rugby TV commentator in the region and Phil chuckled and made some passing comment about quirky sayings of Sport commentators: "They all have their quirks, Paul, what was it a suitcase of … despair or something?"...

    Some nice footage of Phil (or is it Alan Partridge?) at home by the fire with a bottle of Bordeaux. Liggett for president indeed! Some Stage 17 nuggets: Sherwen: "A few more riders trying to scuttle across the gap" (he loves that word. Sherwen: "Richie Porte pulling that elastic...

    Some highlights from stage 16: Phil "'Little/ Tommy Voeckler is making a duurrdevil deescent" Phil "Cadel Hevans, looking a bit feeble" (ooof get in there Phil) Sherwen "Cadel Evans is, as the French say, Pedalling in Squares… The body has a habit of doing strange things after a rest...

    LOL! Missed that but I did hear Phil promising a shoot out in the Pyrenees on Wednesday. I wonder what he has in mind? :eek:

    Agreed. There can never be any malice involved when Paul "doing a great job of work" Sherwen and Phil "Marcoss ZOObeldiya/Dreezzz Dayeynanzz" Ligett are crooning their magic. It is colouring the Bore de France.

    Accompanied by Sherwen's bizarre: "You've almost got to be listening backwards. Like a horse. When their ears point backwards." :)

    This thread is looking nervous, Phil. Everybody is looking around nervously to see where the next attack is coming from.

    Stage 13 Phil: "There's the Swiss flag for Albasini, the Beligian flag on the right is for the team of Andre Greipel, because he is German." Paul: "Well if Greipel wins today I think he will be an honorary Belgian because the Belgians will be all over his support" Phil: "Just look at...

    If stage 11 was all about tortuous climbs, vicious accelerations and at least one treacherous descent, then today's undulations mean it's a strongman's finish
