We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

What do you think? Contador going off at the bottom of Glandon?

Yeah i think they'll use the breakaway to try and break G then attack once he's done.

You know what, next time just offer the prize money upfront and bar sky from entering. They did this in the giro, we can do this again.

They'll get shelled straight away again though. Contador has sent Kreuziger and Rogers up the road. I assume so he can bridge over to them and have them work.

2 from Movistar are up in the lead group as well, if Quintana/Valverde ever decide to make a move

It's pretty bad that I had to check if Cofidis were even riding the Tour this year. I knew as a French team they would be, but talk about a waste of an invite.

I wanted to say Cofidis was one of the bigger teams, but they're a continental time for years now.

eh, if it suits them.

having the option of looking at the second camera feed who's following the pack has elevated my viewing experience.

Because last years tour was his to win.

Poels is the last domestique and he's struggling. I'm glad i've got the sound off. cause I'm guessing the dutch commentary will be exploding with glee about three dutchmen in this group.
