MC: It's been a hard fought opening, I'm sure you'll all agree - there have been some thrills, some spills, and the odd tumble. However, we're one step in now, and it gives me great pleasure to award the premier spot after the first stage of the 2015 Tour De France to...Guillaume Portland!
SFX: CHEERS
GUILLAUME: Thank you, thank you all very much.
MC: And, as is traditional, allow me to present you with...
GUILLAUME: [PAUSE] What's that?
MC: The yellow jersey.
GUILLAUME: It's certainly yellow. Nobody would ever doubt that it's yellow. But, a jersey, I'm not so sure.
MC: You have to wear it. It's the rules.
GUILLAUME: I can't wear that. I'll pass out in that great woolly thing - that's if it doesn't get tangled in my gears and strangle me.
MC: But you've got to wear it, my nan knitted it.
GUILLAUME: I don't care.
MC: Oh, go on. It took her hours.
GUILLAUME: I'm not surprised, it's about 3 inches thick.
MC: Yeah, lovely and warm.
GUILLAUME: It might come as a shock to you, but when pedalling like mental through the Val d'Isere in August you're actually lovely and warm already.
MC: It would mean a lot to her. She put a lot of love into this jumper.
GUILLAIME: And a lot of arms.
MC: Yeah, well, she gets a bit confused. Still, they'll look good, flapping along behind you.
GUILLAUME: Listen, chum, if I wear this crocheted death sweater tomorrow, I won't stand a chance of coming first.
MC: And therefore, you won't have to wear it any more. And it won't matter after that [WHISPERS] she's got a dicky heart - probably won't make it to the final stage.
GUILLAUME: Oh, go on then, give it here.
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only, Guillaume Portland.
SFX: CHEERS
GUILLAUME: Can I go now?
MC: Of course not! Now you have to eat the fruitcakes. My auntie's made an extra specially big one, just for you...
