Stage Six - Chances

It's the final day of the Tour Down Under. Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen are chatting before the race.

Phil Liggett: Well Paul, what did you think of the performance of Team Crustacean yesterday?

Paul Sherwen: Yes, Phil, what a disaster for Team Crustacean, who were doing so well and were such great favourites with the crowd, until that terrible tumble at the bottom of Old Willunga Hill.

Phil Liggett: Yes, legs everywhere! Some of them were actually detached, I believe. Fortunately not the legs of any of the spectators.

Paul Sherwen: Ha ha! Fortunate indeed! It just shows what a dangerous sport cycling can be.

Phil Liggett: And Starpuss? Any news of her condition?

Paul Sherwen: Dead or comatose. In other words, much the same as before. But the box-on-wheels is now just a box.

Phil Liggett: Oh dear. And Sweezus, from Team Philosophe? What do you think of his chances today?

Paul Sherwen: He's got a good chance of winning Skoda King of the Mountain. I hear he's been saving his legs.

Phil Liggett: They all do that, Paul.

Paul Sherwen: I said saving not shaving.

Phil Liggett: I heard you. Saving.

Paul Sherwen: Well, they don't all do that. Take Team Crustacean.

Phil Liggett: Ha ha! Indeed.
