No racing today so I can get to bed before midnight, praise the Lord.

Rest day in "Andorre", according to the Tour website, which is ironic as the riders have no choice.... :)

A visit to the Andorra tourism website gives a glimpse of what the riders might get up to - there are spas, shops, a thing from Cirque du Soleil and cycle-tourism, which they might want to give the swerve to.

They have already seen some of this:

beautiful scenery, ruined primarily by things like this:

Froome currently leads by a slim 16 seconds over white jersey wearer Adam Yates. Having dragged himself through the mountains Cavendish is in green, but only by 7 points with Sagan looming hairily behind. The only non-British* jersey wearer is Thibaut Pinot, with a slim 3 point lead over Rafa Majka.

* Yes, I know, whatever....

Feel free to use the space below to discuss cheese, horses, hailstones, bears, Carlton Kirby, what the riders might buy in Andorran shops, and even cycling, in order to fill the void of your otherwise empty afternoon...
