Oh this is tough to watch.
Today is the third and final day of the Tour de France’s visit to England before it sets sail for France for the remainder of the race. And while we have been treated to some fantastic action, and imagery, this bit of footage from the podium yesterday might be the one that lives with us long after the others have been forgotten.
Italian Vincenzo Nibali won the 201km stage into Sheffield yesterday and as a result he also took the leader’s Yellow Jersey. That meant he was lined up for the always slightly awkward jersey ceremony but the attempted kiss on stage still makes us cringe and we’ve watched it about a thousand times this morning.
