Yep.  The long distance shots from the chooper shows how fast they really are riding  :o

What are the round bins on the sides of the road, for recycling?  'G' in yellow  :banana:

Do you think Froomy will win?  I don't ........ good crowds on the sides of the road.

I haven't noticed the "bins" but I'm looking at the beautiful scenery, a perfect day for sitting on the sofa  admiring the views  :)

The local cycling club have said they are waiting on the last hairpin to welcome Geraint, so I'll be looking out for welsh flags.

It's interesting, who is sky's number one rider, they were in the same position a few years ago when it was Froome/Wiggins  ???

Shame for Cav but he's not really been on top form this July.

I simply couldn't call that! thought Tom was going to get it.

I think Frommy is struggling ........ don't know why there has to be Team Orders etc., it's getting like F1  ::)

The Police haven't done a lot along the route either  >:( despite van after van discharging them onto the Alpe ..........

I "watched" today's stage while ironing  :-\ it was perfect for that.

Watching yesterday's highlights programme I hadn't noticed how much abuse Froome got out on the road, they are not cycling fans  >:(

He has often been booed on the climbs.  Captive audience.  However, the lack of police presence was obvious in it's lack of being there!  Why were any of those people allowed the 'wrong' side of the barriers?!?

Ready for tomorrow?
