Not sure if people have seen it, or are interested, but very good programme on BBC4 right now, The Lance Armstrong Story. Repeated at 0210 tomorrow too.

TDF going past the office today at Victoria Embankment, might take a stroll out, although there are already enough TDF wannabe's on the roads in London that I see daily!

Think they are going past my office in 20 minutes, may as well head out and see what the fuss is all about.

I did 90% of stage one on Friday, and the Blubberhouses section of stage 2. 115 miles, at least 80 of which were in the rain. 6500ft climbing, 7.5 hours. Descending Buttertubs Pass in driving rain, around hairpin bends and down a 25% gradient had a few dodgy moments. Thankfully managed to avoid going over the barrier, as someone had the previous day. Very windy on Grinton Moor. Amazed that that was considered 'flat'!
Did a short section of stage 2, on the day. Brilliant to ride on the closed roads, ahead of the race. Unfortunately the 'power' went to the heads of some of the hi-vis brigade and the roads were closed an hour earlier than they were meant to be, so didn't get to Oxenhope Moor. Had to settle for the small rise to Stanbury, after the cobbled climb through Haworth.
Great stuff. Bring on the Tour of Yorkshire May next year.

Had a great day despite hanging around for 4 hours until the race came by and then it's gone in a blink of an eye. Loitered around the finishing line after and got some pics (below), saw Jose Mourinho, had a photo with Paul Smith the designer and saw the lovely Orla Chennaoui . Fab day if not a little surreal. Nibali Chennaoui
