worth noting the three wildcards still have all 8 riders to the finish ( apart from DE who lost Taaramae)
That's bloody remarkable0 -

Preferably somewhere less crowded so I don’t have to stand on the barriers hours in advance? I was thinking of watching them come through the Bois de Boulogne but suspect I’ll then struggle to get onto the circuit with a chance of seeing anything.
Rue de Rivoli around the red kite on the left hand side of the road. Plenty of space on the left side of the road when I was there a couple of years back. Even got hit in the face with a handful of gels.
Thanks for that, is that the gardens side?
We were on the Rue de Rivoli last year and it wasn't possible to get on the Gardens side - the barriers were flush against the fence. Probably to make control of security easier. Got a spot on the barriers just outside the swanky hotel but had to be there several hours in advance of the Caravane.0 -
I’m at kilometer 25. It’s cooled down a lot and it’s very windy. Eating my free Haribos0

Just a heads up that ITV switching coverage to ITV1 means that your ITV4 series link will be thrown out.0

Either Craddock hasn't taken up his usual position or he's found a way to get dropped in the neutralised zone.
Lots of riders making sure to congratulate Thomas. More than usual?0 -

Looks like just Prudhomme's usual glad handing, "thanks for making my company a ton of money this summer".
Froome being a true pro by enquiring about the time cut-off for GC.0 -

Suspect today's the wrong day to try and wind up any welsh cycling fans on here - there's much more important business to attend to.

GT: "Oh, cheers. Ta."
