Was he pushed or did he jump? Who cares, Wankcock has gone and it just remains to get rid of the rest of them now.
Now lets get to things far more important and exciting The Tour de France. Yesterday’s opening stage was dramatic two huge pile ups, one caused by a stupid spectator whose action was unbelievably irresponsible. Unfortunately the second so close to the finish caused a big time loss for many riders and on the first stage could already have put paid to any ambition they had of finishing high up in the race. Amazingly only one retirement, though poor Chris Froome could possible be out, which after his fight to get back to racing after his horrendous accident would be cruel indeed. If the rest of the race is as dramatic as this first stage it will be a fantastic Tour. Well done to Alaphillipe for stealing a march and winning the stage.
I shan’t repeat my oft written admiration for these athletes. If you have watched any bike race then you would have seen how tough theses men and women are. Yesterday there were times when they were going at over 70 kilometres per hour and not just for a short distance. My favourite sporting event!
Stay well
