Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What a comeback from Pidders! Gold for GB and he's getting booed by the (mainly French) crowd for snatching the gold from their boy.

The booing was quite disappointing :-( Amazing race!

‘Rubbing’s racing’, and a few f-bombs on the Eurosport interview afterwards.

There was a gap and he got into it first.

I think the booing was quite funny 😂 the French had almost won it, no wonder they were a bit sore about it.

Wow, just rewound to watch the end of the XC as last I saw Tom had punctured and was 30s behind, thought it was all over for him! Incredible last lap too.

i wondered whether the booing was more about the crowd perhaps thinking Pidcock's move was illegal (I don't think it was) as it knocked the french guy off his stride.

There was nothing in it. The French guy passed the tree to the right and Pidcock went left. There was a natural coming together by which time Pidcock was a wheel ahead.

There is a natural partisan attitude with the French which no doubt any host nation would be. However much we also dislike Argentina, to jeer every Argentinian participating team is a bit much. After all, it was the national football team who were at fault - not a rugby team or tennis players.

About This Thread

Maintained by Curly45
Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
