    just finished watching it this morning.. great racing.. I've climbed Col D'Eze from that side.. somehow they made it look a lot easier than when I did it !

    nice to see a stage race go down to the final day and be raced up to the final moment

    That last stage is class. Not so hard that there is a particular point that stands out as decisive, hard enough that if you have the legs you can do some damage and make the time gaps. Ditto for the Dauphine which has been spectacular in a couple of previous editions
