    Was the maillot jaune just getting booed on Dutch corner?

    I'm sure Lopez had a big smile on his face going past the Dutch.

    Saxos cunning plan is to have Paulinho hide in a bush until they come round a second time.

    Haha, that made me chuckle, if this was the 1st and not the 100th Tour they'd have tried this for sure.

    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    Couple of notes on Dutch corner:

    1) Booing just really isn't cool
    2) Not a lot of space, feel for the poor bastards that had to stop
    3) Other than that, best behaved part of the mountain - no runners, no leaning in with cameras, no flags in the faces and wheels.

    Voeckler looks like he will actually turn his face completely inside out today at some point.

    4) The fans there have been there for days
    5) The Dutch fans bring the best portable sound systems to the Tour - more than any other nation
    6) They like orange :-)
