    Ned implying that Luke Rowe moving to the front of the bunch spells trouble. Not sure who for, the break? Man's strong but he's no climber

    This stage has been so riveting that I've knocked out tomorrow's stage thread.
    Hopefully the racing will now start to warm up.

    Quite a split in the bunch. Millar thinks some have been caught out.

    I’ve been away with really patchy internet but what has happened to Simon Yates? His legs appear to have fallen off.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Col de Chevreres looks a bit of an interesting appetiser. Has potential for thinning things down quite a bit.

    He's here to help Adam in the final week. Not expected to do anything but build form until then

    *Must travel for work less.

    They have Barguil and Greipel.

    Long ago they were Bretagne–Séché Environnement, then Fortuneo-something for a while. Now Arkea-Samsic

    I quite like the kit:

    Arkea themselves are a Breton Cooperative/Mutual Bank/Insurance Company
    Samsic are a Breton business services company and are France's second largest cleaning company.
