The camera work from the helicopter was good, David Miller needs to research his Chateaus etc. to give the viewer full benefit of each Departmont!

Cavy has been speaking in the review programme a few moments ago. Yellow really suits him - he said that his little girl [Delilah]  associates his success with getting flowers  ;)

They showed the results of the various crashes OUCH! don't know how Geraint is, I had heard that he was involved in the spring accident last night.  Those barriers really can bring bikes down as they have 'feet' sticking out  :o

Sitting, waiting, ready for the off ……. David Miller can apologise all he likes, he knew what he was doing  >:(

It was *that* close  ;D.   I held my breath  ::)

Exciting already  :bounce: ……. we are doing as much work as possible each morning, having a light lunch then settling down to watch  ;).  I cycled every mile today, it was quite easy at the start as no-one seemed to want to race  :D

I loved the work that has gone into some of the 'adverts' for the different regions as they cycle by ………

Crikey - yesterday's result was even closer than 'that'  :o …… apparently 2 thousandth of a second or 'inch'?

Post arrived 5 mins. ago, a DVD of 'the view from the sky' arrived, Himself ordered it at 4.00 p.m. …… showing landmarks from the air across the 2013 Tour de France ……. little things etc..  ;D

The final 'arch' collapsed as the riders were going under, fortunately it's a blow-up plastic thingy but even so, really heavy!

Another British winner on the first mountain stage: Steve Cummins :  :bounce:

The scenery has been lovely today ……… hot++, 3 have dropped out today including Contador.  But he's moving Teams apparently.

Cavy HATES this type of day  ::)

Yep - 35D until the last 12K-ish, followed by hail stones as large as buckets  :o-  Must have been a bit of a shock to the physical system to be that hot and then really cold. 

I cycled every mile today  ;D
