I have become a glass half empty supporter

Geraint has to cycle into Paris this afternoon, what if he falls off his bike or a wheel comes off just yards before the finishing line.

The Senydd and some castles in Wales are to be floodlit yellow tonight, if he doesn’t fall off that bike ?

Geraint Thomas has arrived home in Cardiff, fantastic welcome . What a roar from the crowd when he said his wife forgot to bring the Welsh Flag with her when she went to Paris so a Flag was found in the crowd because he wanted his Flag when he reached Paris . ???????

We are absolutly delighted with our Welshman Geraint claiming the winning place in this year`s Tour de France.........we watch yearly..........initially it was the superb scenery that caught my attention, but gradually I have joined my DH in watching the race itself......enthralling and nail biting stuff!!
We have gradually watched our British team Sky doing so well year on year,three winners from the team now............something to truly celebrate for sure.......whilst being Welsh.... and proud of it.......... of course thrilled that our Geraint has done the necessary.
Cheers all the way,we are soooooooooooproud!!

Anniebach Sun 29-Jul-18 16:19:13

My grandson said the pubs in Cardiff have started celebrating - yesterday !

MawBroon Sun 29-Jul-18 16:16:21

Meant to add ??????????????????????????????????????????????????‍♀️?‍♂️?‍♀️???????

MawBroon Sun 29-Jul-18 16:14:55

Sorry Gilly I see that was what you said!

MawBroon Sun 29-Jul-18 16:14:08

No, that was Chris Froome.
The French police have been something else this Tour.
Didn’t they spray the cyclists with CS gas the other day or something in their attempts to control revolting farmers?
