Geansaí buí

I was watching sports on TG4 again yesterday. I caught the last half hour of yesterday's stage of the Tour de France (for more on the race, see Dick).

I couldn't understand a word and had no idea what was happening. Wasn't at all like watching tennis. The text on the screen was no help either. I wasn't sure how big the gaps were between the various riders. Still, no other sport could rival the scenic beauty that I saw yesterday evening as the stage finished at a ski resort (I'm guessing) in the Pyrénées.

{My daughter came in at the end and that's how I found out that geansaí buí refers to what Lance Armstrong was wearing yesterday on the podium.}
