Tour of Basque country

[Jon H]

With eager anticipation I switched on Eurosport yesterday to watch the "Tour of Basque country". Well, how disappointing, it was just a load of blokes riding bikes. Not a hint of a basque, suspender belt or any other items of lingerie.

Yes, I noticed that too. It's a pity they didn't keep the cameras rolling a bit longer. The finish area must have been blocked with Basque separatist campaigners or something the way they all stopped just over the line. One of the Saunier Duvel riders crossed the line, immediately did a u-turn and tried to go back down the course. Then he got a bollocking from a commisaire so had to do another u-turn and finish for the second time.
