Yeah we recently had a bout of epic racism and bigotry over our way, because of some (I quote) "illegals living near the train station"

Tbh, even normal ppl get a skewed idea. My MiL suggested I show her where I grew up... I warned her it wasn't very nice.. but she insisted. So we went to visit Redruth and Camborne.
She promptly declared it a dump, not proper Cornwall and sulked... so I took her to Mousehole and the Minack *shrugs*

Thank you for making this point re. Rich people going on holiday and getting a skewed view of the county
Yours sincerely, a woman whose family were working class china clay miners for at least 150 years... and who grew up in mess that was Redruth in the 80s and 90s.

3. Picnic Postal NL train

I have found the GC race boring I will be honest. Luckily sub plotz appeared (as they usually do). The rise of Lipowitz and Onley, Healy doing Healy things. Arensmen tbh saved what would have been a dull stage today.

The whole tour ride has been. From a lad coming in to do stages to probably end up 4th on GC...? Amazing scenes.

Super mature ride from Onley. To think at one stage he was so far down on Lipo and Roglic.

Almost glad I was ill today so I could spend the day watching the #tdf2025. I am only invested in the third place battle so utterly enjoyed it.
And feel very sorry for those who have to try to turn that into 15 mins/highlight packages..
