The Peloton

This is my token gesture of welcome to the Tour de France and the Grand Départ tomorrow in West Yorkshire.

I have posted it today as my models will be left behind when we travel north on Saturday, but I hope to be able, wherever I am, to watch over the next three weeks the highlights of a race that I consider to be a sport requiring the acme of fitness.

Hopefully it will be a race free from enhancing drugs or other forms of cheating, so that only talent and training win through.

I will be willing Froome to win the yellow jersey and Cavendish to win his sprints, especially the last one in Paris.

I am sorry that Wiggins has not been selected, but at least that precludes any spats with Froome over dominance.
