This year's Tour de France has certainly lived up to expectations, with plenty of drama unfolding on the roads, cobblestones and gravel.
With the general classification finely poised going into the second full week of the race, the rest of the Tour is a mouth-watering prospect. Today (Monday) is the second of three rest days, though, so unfortunately you'll have to wait another 24 hours before witnessing the action again.
1. The Simpsons x Tadej Pogačar - when crossovers are done right
2. To Giro Donne victor Annemiek Van Vleuten, everyone's a winner. That is, everyone in her team is, at least
3. A classy touch from Luke Rowe. Although, we are surprised he even has any drinks left at the end of a sweltering stage eight
4. Some rest day spot, that
5. Quick tip. When handing out awards, make sure you give it to the correct rider...
6. Just close your eyes and listen; Frison's impression is uncanny
7. A lovely fan offered Geraint Thomas some tips for cycling through their town. There was one slight problem, though - it was sent to the wrong Geraint. Shame.
8. Fortunately for little Ethan, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday
9. A Brit abroad
10. The mountains classification has a new leader
11. The more you look, the more chaos you see - certainly not Jumbo-Visma's finest day on stage five
12. In fact, stage five was almost turbulent as UK politics last week. Almost.
13. We demand justice
14. Scrap that
