Tour de France 2024

Yebbut, nobbut.....stage 9 is a loop in and out of Troyes on a sunday. If your day trip is not by bike, you could make a great long weekend of it. There is some lovely scenery, a few hills and Troyes is a fun town. Historically, it was the centre of champagne. Altho no longer, there is a hilly outcrop outside town which produces some superb fizzy wine. I could easily be tempted.

Also famed for yummy andouillette!

Luck is a huge factor in any stage so I don’t completely buy the idea that cobbles are uniquely unpredictable. If you want to avoid trouble, develop the handling skills and make sure you’re at the front when they arrive

Tell that to WVA at the end of Paris-Roubaix. I dare ya!

Stage one has Cavs name all over it....fingers crossed he can, then they'll be no need to watch any other sprint stages 😁

@Adam4868 ,
I notice that Egan Bernal is 200/1 for the Tour...

...I suggest waiting a bit before you put the mortgage on him till his odds go out a bit more
