Im sure they could have a whip round.

Magnus Cort dobbs himself in with video of himself doing exactly the same thing a couple of days ago. Well, not exactly the same - I don't think he was kissing Julien Barnard's wife. But similar.

By the way, do these "communiqés de i'étape" (where they list the fines levied and so on) get publicly released? They could make interesting reading. OK maybe "interesting" isn't quite the right word but they could be worth a look.

I've had a search round and I can't find them.

Yes, I've seen them on Twitter. But I've only seen them in French, so might be trickier for votre googling.(It wasn't super interesting, to be honest. But a good laugh!)

Perhaps you could ask a proper cycling fan to help? At least until you learn the language of Le Peloton ...

Oh hang on - I've just spotted the text in the Tweet you've quoted

I was googling "communiqé de i'étape" but no luck.

I can read French OK, and there's always google translate to fall back on if I get into trouble. I speak my own personal version of French quite fluently, which French people can understand, even though distresses their souls. Unfortunately it all tends to go a bit poire shaped when they reply.

If your accent is poor, Google won't understand.
Or at least pretend not to ...

An issue of resulting in the immediately following cars blocking the road unnecessarily during a time trial.

Have you tried the UCI site?

Although it is notoriously difficult to navigate. Bonnie chance.

Fun question, which has probably been on the commentary.

How many churches are there in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises?

Spoiler

Nine. As a result of mergers of communes and boundary changes

Anyone else a bit pleased that ‘Jasper the Master’ hasn’t won a stage yet?

Well I'm incredibly pleased that Bini has two ... So yes.

That's putting a positive spin on it

Kinda - he comes across as a thoroughly objectionable person and I'm sure he's not.

After all, in his early career, Cav was the same.
