“This stage is the longest of this 100th Tour. It is also one of the most prestigious because nobody wins by chance on the Ventoux, especially not on 14 July? There are two scenarios: either a group gets away from a long way out and maintains enough of an advantage for the escapees to fight it between themselves; or the leaders shut down the race as far as the foot of the climb, transforming the stage into one enormous hill-climb! Depending on the weather, a lot of damage could be done today. Imagine what it could be like if there’s blazing heat all day? Whether you’re in the yellow jersey or not, if you do badly on this climb you will lose a quarter of an hour!”

Hugh Abbott: [Sarcastically] What d’you want me to do? Resign?! [Sees the look on Malcolm’s face] No!
Malcolm Tucker: It is possible to have a good resignation!
Hugh: A good resignation? Well, I’m looking forward to how you’re gonna sell this to me!
Malcolm: Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know; steely jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before you get to the point when they’re sitting round in the pub saying “Oh, that fucker’s got to go!”, you surprise them! “Blimey, he’s gone! I didn’t expect that! Resigned? You don’t see that much anymore! Old school! Respect! I rather liked the guy! He was hounded out by the fucking press!” How about that, eh? What a way to go!
