They're passing through my neck of the woods now.

I reckon you're right alecs... makes sense.

Edit: it's odd seeing the roads you know well on the tele!

Milram team leader Gerrie van Gerwen has just said on Dutch radio that the race is being kept "deliberately dull" because the riders can't listen to their MP3s.

A bit of local knowledge; the next bit of road (to Le Chatre) is incredibly boring! A long straight roller coaster of a road... I avoid it like the plague because it's usually quite busy with trucks, etc but more that it's just thoroughly unpleasant and tedious to ride.

The town they've just gone through, Crevant, has a potato fair every year. I've never been. It sadly always seems to clash with a prior engagement....

Breakaway at 1'42" with 45km to go... no way will they stay away.

The DS of AG2R just interviewed, teams were on a go slow as a protest but they will be sprinting. Talk of allowing only 2 riders to have radios for the next 'radioless' stage. If that's so, who'll be the lucky recipients in Astana! :biggrin:

Still, nice to know there's a reason for such a dull stage!!

*Sigh* Need to increase my sarcasm spotting skills...

Even though it never looked like it would be particularly effective I'd be pretty angry if I was in the front bunch.
