    Brilliant sprint from Cav!Did it go anywhere near you Nico? I used to shop in St Brice and Fougeres.
    No matter:the allotment is lovely, the tadpoles have legs, my sea kale has germinated and I am glad to be home.

      Not half! Gave me a fantasy team Etixx hat-trick with Martin, Stybar & Cav.
      Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
      By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
      While better men than we go out and start their working lives
      At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

        Formidable- she says in an outrageous French accent!
        I thought Quintana would be closer at the end but don't think that he is finished yet. Porte and G amazing as well.Think Contador is tired, Nibali is out of it and VG going to be very disheartened.
        Fascinating race though!

            The boys from SKY are doing really well.

                Le Tour yesterday, Daniel Tekelhaimanot taking the points on the Cote de Mauvezin before the real fun on the Aspin & Tourmalet.



                And this morning, the Depart from Lannemezan



                Mid thirties both days so Chapeau to everyone.

                And because it's Le Tour there has to be someone in a sweltering costume (at Mauvezin)

                    I saw that Cav clocked 101kmph down from the Tourmalet yesterday - we motorcycle over the col and I often have to wave cyclists past on the descent

                      About 13 mph faster than I have managed on my bike going downhill.

                      Then again there isn't a Mountain like the Tourmalet in Rutland.

                      I have snagged 49 mph down a local Cat 5 hill though.

                          Organisers must be thrilled that race was so exciting today- Froome did well but he had to fight for it the last two days.
                          Have thoroughly enjoyed it but now I don't have to rush home for highlights and then podcast and then other reports and articles.

                            Hope Cav wins tomorrow.
