    How long to go? Just wondering if it's worth heading back to see the finish?

    I assume not much happening at the moment?

    What a lovely field of cows.

    Nice shot of some cows. Break nearly caught. 44km to go.

    Interestingly, 44 is a very unlucky number in Hong Kong as the Cantonese pronunciation sounds very similar to the words for, "Die, always die"....

    Elmiger's national champs jersey has to be one of the best.

    True - it's all either Degenkolb's ar$e, Coquard, and now he's on about "Toul"....

    6. Carlton Kirby's obsession with roundabouts to continue.
    7. Sean will say, "certaintly" (though he doesn't do it as much as he used to, I think).
    8. Sagan will finish in the top 5.
    9. Someone will make a joke about entering Nancy.
    10. I will continue to post nonsense......

    Roundabout alert

    Ah, my old office used to be very close to where they tested that every Monday morning. We've moved now, I don't know if I'll hear it anymore.

    The final climb is long for a short climb, perfectly straight, and tough. It should ruin the hopes of many. #tdf

    The sunflowers in my garden are out (or at least the ones that have survived the constant onslaught by slugs and snails)

    They match the back of the house nicely which I painted yellow 2 weeks ago

    Coquard is looking more and more like a contender.
