I rushed to press the mute button the moment she opened her mouth.

Picture for those who didn't.

Yes, it was truly awful. Please, please, can we ditch this total, utter embarrasment of an anthem. Not only is it a throwback to feudal times, and brings forth images of kowtowing serfs, Lesley Garrett butchered it anyway. If I were LG, I'd be ashamed to be seen in public after that.


Fantastic picture! A picture paints a thousand words and all that.

Can't remember if it's been mentioned already, but there's supposed to be some sort of bike show series starting on ITV4 tomorrow. No idea if it'll be any good or not...

It actually started half an hour ago. There will probably be repeats, and of course it's available on the website.

Might just be me but it appeared that Froome looked a little hacked off on the podium yesterday and showed very little emotion towards Brad.

Programme on brad (before the cycle show) was good showed him training in Mallorca at Sa Calobra an awesome climb done it a few times nearly killed me lol

There is some cycle racing in the city centre tonight starting about 6.30 - Pinstone Street/Surrey St - but nowt to do with Tour de France I'm afraid, but should be good, will be there myself.

You're maybe getting mixed up with plans to bring tour to Yorkshire in 2016....

There you go, http://www.sheffieldgrandprix.co.uk

Don't expect to see the likes of Wiggins, Cavendish or any other riders of that caliber. Low ranking pros and Cat 1 amateurs
