This year's Tour de France
Jul. 20th, 2012 12:07 pmGood thing: because a Brit is doing well, there's decent coverage.
Bad thing: I am expected to cheer for said Brit. Despite the fact he's by far my least favourite of the anglophones. Quit yer whining, Wiggins.
Bad thing: I feel guilty about this because his wife is lovely.
Good thing: Tommy Voeckler is in the King of the Mountains jersey.
Bad thing: He is not in yellow.
Good thing: All being well, Tommy will be on the podium.
Bad thing: the UK press claiming the French hate Wiggins. Not true, he is adored because he came up through French teams and speaks wonderful French. (This, by the by, was the root of the Armstrong dislike, they knew he could speak French so they also knew he was just being bloody-minded when he refused to)
Good thing: Did I mention Tommy in polka dots?
