I definitely do.

You were right all along

An early start and finish to tomorrow’s stage.
Not sure why.

How early?.

Just spitballing, but is it related to it being a long weekend with Bastille Day on Monday? Likely a lot of traffic expected to be on the roads, perhaps?

Stage start time changed?

Stage start time changed?

If you don't want to shorten the stage but you want to finish early what else can you do? Slip the motos a fiver to encourage them to allow a bit more drafting?

St Malo, tomorrow morning. M. Prudhomme consults his timetable. Thinks about what happened on stage 3.

"Pierre-Yves?"
"Oui, monsieur?"
"Release the lions."

Is the time changed from the road book or not?

Ah right. No idea!

Indeed it's not like it's a long transfer for Saturdays stages either.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Sorry I didn’t reply last evening.

Start time is 11-10am and expected finish about 3-40pm.
So it’s around about a half hour earlier than usual.
It was scheduled, not changed.

Caught up late last night, and delighted for Ben Healy. Great ride, and nice to see the team applauding his podium ceremony.

I already knew the result, thanks to family and friends texting me the good news... don't they know I actually work during the day?? 😂

I missed any live stuff today but was fortunate to just now catch an ITV4 program of adverts where occasionally they showed a little bit of cycling in between 😂

To be fair, it wasn't the most thrilling day's racing. I think everyone was knackered from the first 2 hours constant attacking

The 1998 pedalo footage is absolutely classic

Some very narrow roads today ...long stretches
