Super Furry Animals – The Door to This House Remains Open
Geraint Thomas won the Tour de France earlier today. So I’m choosing this song by the Welsh Super Furry Animals (Thomas is Welsh), from Guerilla, probably my favourite album of theirs.

July is the month of the Tour de France. It’s being shown on ITV4. They closed the highlights of Stage 13 with this song, which was perhaps a nod to the winner of that stage, Warren Barguil, and to the winner of stage 12, Barguil’s fellow Frenchman, Romain Bardet.
When I first heard it I assumed it was a cover of The Who’s ‘My Generation’, but I was mistaken in that assumption.
Two of my favourite riders in the Tour de France out in one go:
World champion Peter Sagan has left the Tour de France after being disqualified for causing the crash which ended Mark Cavendish’s race
Gutted. Can’t believe Sagan elbowed on purpose or with malice; just seemed like an automatic reaction.
Oh well.
