Been looking after son no.2 who has chicken pox for a couple of days, so watched almost all of the stages from start to finish. Soporific for the both of us.
Stage four was perfect for looking at chateaux, the French countryside, tractors and diggers. Van Keirsbulck looked mortified when he looked round and no-one was coming up to him at km 0. He looks a bit like Boonen on the bike- he was touted as a successor a few years ago (went pro w/Quickstep at 18). Losing Sagan has ruined my fantasy league chances.
Fuck knows what BMC were up to yesterday, but good that full Sky dominance is being threatened. Aru looked good in National Champs jersey. Gilbert missing his, now he just has shit socks. Can Martin go well in the mountains proper?
Lots of Brits in the race.
ITV4 coverage much better than Eurosport
