Or if there are no picnic chairs to hand, you can still have fun:

Anyone who's still wondering whether or not Cav will be staying the distance or leaving early should read today's Sport magazine - it has an A-Z of the Tour, with M for Mark Cavendish and a mini interview with Cav which includes the following exchange:

Would you ever pull out of the Tour to make sure you're ready for the Olympics?
"No, only if I get eliminated by a time cut or... no, I'll finish the Tour de France. I pulled out in my first year as a pro after a week, but I wasn't ready for the Tour. Then in 2008, I stopped for the Olympics and since then I've finished it every time."

Do you regret stopping for the Olympics?
"Yeah, I never made a secret of that. I'll never do it again."

will the tdf be on itv replay? i know its on itv 4
 
Wiggins, Evans and Nibali top three, but not sure which order; okay, Wiggins for yellow.

I think Sagan will pick up a stage win but Cavendish will get Green and 3 stage wins. Sanchez for KOM.

Cancellara to win the prologue tomorrow in just over 8 and a half minutes.

Looking forward to this year and will be on the Mur de Peguere for Stage 14 (Limoux to Foix) with some very tired Etape legs.

Anyone know when the first rider rolls down the ramp?
In fact a list of all the stage start times would be lovely, my brief googling failed to find any
Thanks

Not-so-interesting fact for the day:
39 riders on the start list joined their team for 2012.

Another-not-so-interesting fact:
Andrij Grivko is not listed in the Official Programme as being part of the Astana squad - the only rider on the start list not to be listed.

Join us tomorrow for more useless information...
