I cycled it round it when I was riding around Alpes-Maritimes - there are some surprisingly steep climbs on the circuit. Casino Square is not normally open to traffic, so I was trying to work out a way through and then suddenly realised i was on the hairpin. Then round the next corner you come out to the famous tunnel. I wasn't quite as fast as an F1 car...

Back on topic, team GB have got to be happy about their position at the moment. G in a break which will surely be the only break by the top of the climb for the second time. Froome and Yates both ready to make a move, two riders who have form against the leading riders from the other teams. I'm cautiously optimistic - the main worry being the length of the final run in, which will allow for people to be caught unless they've made a big gap

Apparently the NBC commentary on the opening ceremony last night involved their team remarking how Djibouti sounded like 'yer booty' - thanks for that

Check Castroviejo's bike for a motor!

Sky will be wanting to sign him next year.

And will give a few riders a chance to attack on the flat and pinch it at the last...
