Hello, Elle!
Not so hot here!
Raining on le Tour.
Laura Muir has tweeted that she was the last athlete to leave the stadium at 11.30 pm yestreen.
She was in Dope Control for some time.
The more you watch her run, the better it gets!

Hi, Rusty!
Good to see that Dope Control is "on the job"!
Again, Well done, Laura!
How disappointing that Martyn Rooney was disqualified for a false start in the Men's 400m Final.

They felt a warning should have been issued instead.
Matthew Hudson -Smith won, with another Brit, Rabah Yousif, third.
Our fourth competitor came last.
Strongly represented in the event though.

Rusty, I thought Romain Bardet was 2nd in the GC after his win yesterday? Kreuziger is 6th - I think

Hello, Pigale,
Yes, that is so, Pigale.
By "on the road" I meant "at that particular moment" with his attack he had overhauled several riders on GC.
If the stage had finished there, he would have been second.
Hope I have explained myself properly!
All quiet at the loch.

Yes, I do know what you meant now;
Shame about lack of scenery due to weather conditions again today, but at least less crashes.

All quiet at the loch when I looked too.

Hello, Pigale!
I was amazed at how well the riders coped on the wet descents!
A procession to Paris now for Froome.
I have only seen the chicks at the nest today.
Wondering if Lassie has gone?

Good evening, Rusty!
Okay...follow up....
A good afternoon's Athletics - if not as exciting as yesterday!
We had two good 4 x100 men's teams.
Both A and B teams came 1st and 2nd - which augurs well for the Rio Olympics.
I don't know how much you watched?
(You obviously saw a lot of your favourite, cycling!)
KJT did well - she beat the British favourites in both the high jump yesterday and in the long jump today
And Mo Farah and - surprisingly - another Brit, Andrew Butchart - came first and second in the 5000 metres.
Gabby, Michael and Colin had an interesting discussion about the drug situation at the end!
I thought I saw Lassie in the nest this morning? There were four birds there, anyway.

Hello, Elle,
I saw little of the athletics.
Le Tour had most of my attention today.
The British athletes are in good nick prior to Rio.
Yes, that was probably Lassie.
Just that any time I looked in she was not there.
Is there athletics tomorrow?

Elle and Rusty,

Only one bird in the nest just now - Lassie !
