Pothunter 31 Jul 1:03pm, 31 Jul 2024 9,229 posts	0 Pothunter Having the guts to let your opponent build up a 15 second lead is pretty impressive. Yee must have known he couldn’t go with the move but also known there was time left to pull back the gap later.
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) 31 Jul 1:04pm, 31 Jul 2024 42,808 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) I did think he would make his move sooner but it was timed to perfection as Wilde couldn’t respond.

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).
