Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

I don't think this is quite a commentary highlight for @Marmion but Paul claimed yet again that there are 95 departments. There are currently 101 and it looks like it's 40 years since there were 95, before Corsica was split into two departments.

According to Wiki;
There are 96 departments and one metropole with territorial collectivity status in metropolitan France and 5 overseas departments, which also are classified as regions.

Astana couldn't be more different looking than in the Giro
There are like 6-7 teams having a train up front (Tinkof, Garmindal, Movistar, Ag2R, Sky, Lampre), so either they are waiting for some more space at the front (when it gets steeper) or Nibali is still not feeling too great
