Yep, but maybe it's a slow burner. It needs to get past this phoney war and onto stage 9. There's a lot of transition stage feel so far crossing bleak and barren terrain.

Yates and Martin particularly uncomplimentary about it, accusing the organisers of wanting crashes for TV.

Something I've just noted. We are going into stage 8 without a single retirement - when did that last happen in a Grand Tour?

Lammertink was a DNS today. Maybe the route is too easy?

Didn't watch yesterday, but on Friday I was watching and they went for ad break and when they came back the stage had finished.

Sagan rode across from one side to another at the close yesterday when there didn't seem any need to. He could easily have clipped Valverde. Not sure how he got away with it, it didn't seem to have even been commented on.

The road curved. Valves went from left to right to left as he moved through the pack. Sagan just followed the white line IMO but that did mean he was moving right in front of a Valves moving left so it did get a bit close to clipping, which was mentioned on ITV highlights.

I think I probably post this every year, so I may as well do it this year as well.
