    Wind is going to gradually die down during the day, it is expected.

    That's the problem with nipping in at lunch to watch the stage this early, it's heavily loaded with ads in order to get them out of the way for later.

    Froome is having absolutely no luck lately. Would be an AC fan myself, but mainly looking forward to a good race. Unfortunately, that mightn't happen if Froome's bad luck continues once the cobbles are reached. Hopefully he stays safe.

    Same as myself. Want to see him beaten by Bertie, but fair and square with no room for excuses. The mountains will be a lot less entertaining if Froome is out or out of contention and uninterested.

    Not a clue, will post up here if I find one. If you have good French some of their radio stations would have coverage.

    Eurosport used to have live audio feed from their TV coverage on their website. But I don't think they have anymore.

    I think it was Radio Nice the guys were talking about yesterday as having good radio coverage, not sure if they meant live radio or just pre and post.

    you have to laugh at the commentators constantly mentioning that Contador is 'back to his 2009' form.

    Worrying for Froome, I agree that the mountains will be ****e without him. Far prefer him to Contador.

    Greipel and Kittel have both hit the deck on separate occasions, and splits are occuring. There'll be lots more of that today

    If there is this much chaos on proper roads, imagine the major chaos on the cobbles...

    Out of curiosity, how many of the riders in this years tour have ridden on cobbles in a racing environment?
