    Trying to sort a week based just oustside Megeve with my mates, so should catch Stage 19, but all three would be doable.

    I'm in Normandy July so i will head to Mont Saint Michel to see the TT. Great setting for a race finish.

    twilight finish on the champs, according to Jeremy Whittle in The Times today. It looks like a nice and balanced tour, IMO, although not ideal for wiggo. geared towards a great finishing run from ventoux onwards!
    Should suit Cav well enough... He can win on the Champs in green this year!

    It could be an opportunity for Froome to push for the yellow Jersey. With decent support I think his legs will handle it.

    I've just booked up to go see the Tour for the first time next year.

    Staying in Pertuis for the first 4 nights and seeing stages 15, 16 and 17, then travelling upto Annecy for stages 18,19 and 20 and then possibly stopping off in Paris on the way back home to see the final stage (Versailles to Champs-Elysees).

    For Stage 15 (Givors to Mont Ventoux) and Stage 18 (Gap to Alp D'Huez) I'm planning on claiming a patch up the mountain before the peloton goes up the two mountains, will I need to camp out overnight or will getting there in the very early morning 4/5am be enough to secure me a decent-ish spot?
