Fortunately, otherwise it gets too obvious.

You're not falling of your seat are you, thus being rudely awoken?

A quick google tells me Nacer Bouhanni is only a half inch taller than Voeckler.

No not them . I think it was last year . He was famous for making break aways and won several stages . I think he used to be a BMX rider . I may be wrong though .

He's at Quick-Step, not fully recovered from a racing crash so he's absent from this tour.

I agree , Alaphilippe has panache and he stands out as a truly individual rider , he will be missed this year !

He used to spice up the TdF. I didn't used to like him but I thought he did a good favour for Cavendish last time .

Ever since I went to Scotland, Facebook keeps giving me updates from the Greenock Telegraph
