Ha - I was there in ‘99 as well. I stopped going 7-8 years back as it didn’t seem as important anymore as cycling. Different today - but back to cycling tomorrow. Love and hugs to #NeverStraysFar.

Not now mate. Newcastle have won something.

I saw him being driven away from the finish of the Tour in Nice in a UAE van. He looked very comfortable in the front seat of the van - if that helps.

I think he smiled at me as I waited to cross the road (I choose to believe that anyway).
