Day early!
A few tight bends but very flat. Some tram lines I think.
Cavendish is keen to take this one home with the team.

Oh no, a bend. Cav won't make it to the end then I guess :P0
-
Tram lines are nasty - I still have the scars from a run-in with them in Germany. Might be interesting for Denis - he likes a bit of tarmac!

Pozzato to lampre will make certain prosecutors lives simpler!
Also, is Brian Smith on a bet? "whiplash"? "technical area"?"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"
