    Find it almost unbelievable that not one rider tested positive. Particularly after all the fans screaming in their faces in the Pyrenees.
    Onwards and upwards to the Alps!

    Hope Sam wins today but maybe he's thinking Poitiers tomorrow.
    Kelly won his first Tour stage there in '78.

    Roglic had to remind Sagan he was still wearing his mask just before they rolled out.

    Roglic should mind his own beeswax.

    Zoo La Palmyre really not a good place - used to contain some very depressed polar bears

    Sea temps aren't bad there - should be around 20°C

    It's grand at this time of year. I was swimming on beaches nearby only a few weeks ago.

    Roche looks like he's finished after coming down in that crash, still not up and at that pace the time cut will be hard to make alone and injured


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,254 ✭✭✭MPFGLB


    Velon have Nico racing in group 3

    According to the guardian live blog it's soon. The map they gave at start has it at (I think) 39km to go, Guardian blog said they just passed the 49km point.

    2k to sprint
