    LIVE TV:
    Eurosport 1 - 4.30pm

    HIGHLIGHTS:
    Eurosport 1 - 9.00pm

    I confidently predict shambolic second/third-language 'interviews', and some sort of bizarre techno semi-naked drummers/gymnasts interval act, probably supported by an interpretative dance presentation from a local youth group.

    If anyone's particularly keen to stalk the teams at their accommodation, here are their hotels:

    Ineos hotel is closest to the presentation area. There's nowhere they won't apply those "marginal gains"

    EF's 8 riders are from 8 different countries.

    Good to see Dan with the tricolour stripes on his sleeves, something he doesn't always seem to have.

    Who is on the Wolverteam?

    Is this Flemish for the Quick Step Wolfpack?

    Disregard last post - I spotted the small print.

    Thought it was some wild card invitation at last minute.

    I particularly liked Richie Porte's reaction when yer man in the green suit and yellow shoes bluntly told him that he was getting old and asking if this was his last chance at the Tour! :D

    That interviewer was an idiot

    Made Adam Yates (who clearly didn't want to ) speak Flemish

    Poor Richie...he is younger than Nibali & same as Fuglsang and practically a teenager in comparison to Valverde

    Dan & Nico at the same hotel ...maybe hey can catch up about the 3 second rule being excluded from this Tour
    They are both right about it....could be a problem with crashes
