The excitement yesterday was all at the start. Yoann Offredo fell off. But got back on again.
Quiet day today too probably.

However the tour is weighted, people always complain. Too much TT (like Wiggins' year)? Boo! Too much trundling up alps staring at power meters? Boo! Too much (or just some) pavé? Boo! Too many flat 200k stages where only the last 200m counts? Boo! Team TT? Boo!I do wish the Tour would have more stages like the one deGent won and fewer Alpine style ones. It seems they believe the winner of Le Tour should always be the person who can ride these long ascents quickest. I'd like a Classics style rider to get a look in. Or maybe load up the TT and give someone like Dennis an outside chance
Maybe I'm just bored with defensive riding in the mountain stages
The tour is in my bit of France today, lm just back from a ride and it is hot and windy out there ......vivre le tour !
