“Sandy Casar may well have broken his duck here”
I couldnt believe that Boogerd never got right on his wheel though at the end…
That’s because Michael Boogerd is a terrible sprinter 
I can remember of only one guy he beat on a sprint.
That was just an amazing finish. Boogerd really boogered that one. After that first attack tha Casar did (brilliant) I was glad he got the win.
And when Paul said that, I just looked at the sherpa and said “broke his duck?”
duck as in duck’s egg, or goose egg. As in he was 0 for 70 or however many TDF stages he had been in. We probably would have used “popped his cherry” instead.
You’re not allowed to remind the good people of ST who the guy he beat in a sprint was…

I bet you waited your whole life to say that joke
It’s a cricket term - a ‘duck’ is scoring zero runs, ‘golden duck’ is out first ball. There is another one for scoring a duck in each innings but it escapes me at the moment.
Originally derived from a duck’s egg due to the ‘0’ written in the scorebook.
I never even considered that our American Cousins wouldn’t have got that reference!

no shit…thats why he should have gotten right onto Casars wheel instead of being a bike length off of it…he had no chance when Casar took off for the final sprint b/c of that gap
