THE LYCRA BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN

THE LYCRA BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN



The Tour de France starts today. I’m watching it as I write; a stupid spectator has just caused a mass crash! It is the 108th edition; it starts in Brest and ends on the iconic Champs-Élysées in Paris on 18 July. The Tour covers over 3,500 kilometres, about 2,200 miles, over 21 day-long stages - there are just two rest days. It is one of the most physically demanding sporting races in the world.

There are 23 teams, with eight riders in each team, entering the Tour. The winner of the Tour de France is the<b> rider </font></b>who reaches Paris in the least time; he will wear the coveted yellow jersey, le maillot jeune.

My predicted top three riders, in order of finish, are Jumbo-Visma’s Primož Roglič, UAE Team Emirates’ Tadej Pogačar, and Deceuninck-Quick-Step’s Julian Alaphilippe. Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar are from Slovenia - what do the Slovenes eat for breakfast? Julian Alaphilippe is from France; the French will go mad if he wins as no French<b> rider </font></b>has won the Tour de France since Bernard Hinault way back in 1986!

I love the Tour de France. I love the riders dressed in lycra, plus socks; I love the spectacular views of France, especially the sunflower fields; I love the crazy fans screaming at and running with the riders; I love the crashes, provided no one is seriously hurt; and I love the bunch sprints as the riders strain to the finishing line.


Do you enjoy watching the Tour de France?
When’s the last time you rode a bike?
Do you like men in lycra?


The last time I rode a bike was over ten years ago. I couldn’t wear lycra because my bulge is too big!

I saw the crash, ouch!
My bike has just finished being repaired today and tomorrow I will be driving it through the Angevin countryside. It doesn't matter if my bulge is noticed ...

I saw they had a crash. That's awful!
It's been a long time since I rode a bike. My kids outgrew their bikes years ago.

    Quoting bearcatbearcat:
    Would like to know where you stand on the United States Post Office squandering millions by sponsoring Bicycle Racing in EUROPE?

    First of all, no one in America gives a fuck about bike racing......much less in Europe. Second of all, why is a GOVERMENT AGENCY using our tax dollars for ADVERTISING?

    I hate Trump but he was completely correct that the USPS deserves to be abolished. Universal internet instead.
I have no position on the United States Postal Service sponsoring a bike team to race in Europe.
Cycling is massive in Europe; millions line the route of the Tour de France.
I'm blocking you now because of racist mail sent to me and racist comments made to another blogger. There's no room for that shit here!

I visited Slovenia in 2019. It's a beautiful country and we were told by our guide that the Slovenians are very 'sporty'. It seemed to be true, when we visited Lake Bohinj it was full of people kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming. And we saw a lot of bicyclists on the roads.

That said, I clearly am out of touch with the top ranked cyclists these days because I haven't heard of either of those Slovenian guys. Julian Alaphilippe rings a bell though. I would love to see a Frenchman win.

I couldn't wear lycra; it's not a great look on middle-aged men!

The police are charging the woman that caused the crash.
Everyone likes to see a good bulge!
Happy biking.

The French police have arrested and charged the woman that caused the crash - over 20 riders involved in the crash required hospital treatment.

If I was leaner and younger, I might wear lycra. Now any bulge on show would be my belly!

They've reached the Alps now and the mountains are sorting the riders out.

This year's Tour is very different to previous Tours. No teams ae dominating the race so it's quite chaotic with lots of solo attacks.
The riders are much younger than in the past. But Mark Cavedish has won two sprint stages already. He's now two behing Eddy Merkyx's record of the legendary Eddy Merckx's record of stage wins and there are five sprint stages left in the race.
