I guess once the virus gets into the bubble, it’ll spread whatever they do. It’s all a bit rubbish for us armchair spectators, though.

In F1 they’ve had only one driver test positive so far and he didn’t pass it on, but I doubt it’ll be the last positive test among the drivers now that several mechanics for Mercedes have had positive tests.

I think other sports are easier to contain though, as Ken said with the peloton being so close together for hours, support staff close in cars, racing day after day, moving hotel to hotel.

I know I keep moaning about it, but this coverage is spoiling it for me. If that bloke over pronounces Phil-leeepO GanNA one more time I might strangle him.

:lol:

I'm not really feeling it this year for some reason. I think the coverage isn't helping.

And if bradley wiggins wears one more version of the same top I'll happily strange him, too.

I feel a bit bad for slagging him off now Squizz :lol: :uhh:

Vuelta starts today, thank the lord. No day time coverage though by the looks of it :cry:

Nah, I don’t care :)). I’m sure he’s a very nice chap :look:.

ETA: about Tao, not the Vuelta coverage!

That's exciting Squizz! He seems very nice but quite boring. He's good at cycling though and we can't have everything.

That's a shame about the day coverage. I didn't realise they'd overlap.

Guess they can't risk leaving it much longer, or the weather could be too poor. I'm really disappointed about the lack of day coverage, it's great WFH company!

That's true, although it's annoying. Too much to watch!

Well done Dan! Those horses with the big bellies. :love:

I'm gradually catching up from yesterday (finding it hard to watch both and getting completely confused. Still got fingers crossed for Tao though). Amazing win for Dan!

Did David have a giant picture of himself behind him yesterday?!

Can't believe highlights have been bumped for rugby tonight.

I know! We just went to watch it and we very disappointed to find it was 10pm. Tao in with a real chance!

Froome is a very damp squib so far.

David millar said he was broadcasting from a room jn a local hotel didn't he? Has he taken a range of giant photos of himself? Tbf he doesn't strike me as the sort :lol:

Maybe just a random cyclist then.

I'm just watching the Giro from last night. Dennis putting on his jacket has totally cracked me up. Proper :mog:

Just realised I mean Hindley. Laughing too much to post properly!

I'm surprised that Hindley wasn't told to protect Kelderman.
