    It is also traditional to raise your spectacles and say "It is I".

    Of course.

    God, I now have memories of childhood camping holidays, when anyone spotted a Leclerc we would yell out '"t is I!" and then everyone else would shout back "Leclerc!"

    1. Tractor art
    2. Colombian flag
    3. Stuffed animal (extra points if it is a boar)
    4. Corsican flag
    5. Cows dressed in jerseys
    6. Basque fans
    7. E.Leclerc hypermarché
    8. Someone trying to keep up with the peloton on a mountain bike
    9. Donald Trump baby blimp
    10. Haimar Zubeldia
    That could be turned into an excellent drinking game...

    You know it's the only way to survive this stage.

    Well, my day just got better as I’ve found out I won a Topeak Pakgo in a GCN competition.

    As you were.

    Going a bit Sherlock Holmes for a second, I reckon he's ambidextrous. Observe the beer placed at twelve o'clock in each shot for access with either hand, and the spoon changing orientation.

    Cheery thought that this is about as interesting as today will get, eh?

    I thought your 12/10s were reserved for Bernie.

    Must. not. mention. the. petting...

    Went away for lunch and a nap, came back and there's still 130km to go. FFS

    Didn't miss the categorised climb at least, phew

    Elsewhere I've seen it suggested that the length of today's stage will make it a spectacle. Frankly if you wish to stare at spectacles for this long you'd be best off going and training as an optician.

    In fact, you might as well pop off and do that now. This stage will still be waiting for you when you get back.

    Kirby was chatting about how races will only be able to leave their home country once every 4 years. Seems to be aimed that the Giro.

    Really. That would be a stupid rule.

    Maybe keep it on the same continent though...
