    Turgis ( Anthony)
    Smith (Dion)

    2 Direct Energie again in break - not sure what strategy Bernaudeau is employing here... !

    Good, good a bit of disagreement, a little controversy over what is seen, excellent example of how maps are constructed objects visually representing complex landscapes and socio-spatial realities that can be mediated and interpreted differently. Jolly good.

    I won't say what I'm seeing - I'd fail a Rorschach test!

    Vulva?

    Today's PTP picks

    21 Valverde
    16 Alaphilippe

    3 Martin
    1 Barguil, Gesink, Gilbert, van Avermaet, Yates
    Gesink!!! :shock:
    That's just Ridgerider - he only picks Lotto Jumbo riders. But even then Gesink is an odd choice.

    The OP has missed a bit of culinary/cycling history with today's stage starting in Brest...

    The Paris-Brest cake was created in 1910 by pastry chef Louis Durand, upon request from the organiser of a bicycle race between Paris and Brest. The cake has a large ring shape representing bicycle wheels.
    Nowadays, the legendary Paris-Brest can be found in all French pâtisseries and is one of the most popular desserts in the country.

    I did.
    Shame on me, cos it's lush. One of my favs.

    Kirby warning... apparently he's about to make an appearance. Time to grab the zapper and turn over to ITV4.

    About 120km to go according to CN ticker, assuming it won't be worth putting omn till the first time over the Muur at about 21km to go?

    Anyone know what time the stage finish is likely to be today? And an educated guess at when they hit the Mur first time?

    I fired up the Eurosport player on my phone out of habit.

    Have now switched to ITV4. Timely reminder - thanks :D
