    That isn't a road, that's a ski ramp. :shock:

    OK I am so out the loop, who the bejeezus are Arkea?*


    Is it the Cornish branch of Ikea?


    *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.

    Thanking you.

    It is a nice kit. Understated zebra. Hopefully it is not what happened to Sam after he retired to Pedro Deglado's donkey sanctuary.

    What time are they planning on finishing this evening?
    Looks like a bit of a late one?

    They aim between UK time 4 & 5 but they've ridden this very slowly.

    If anyone can hold the Peloton off it's TdG.

    Pace has increased dramatically as it gets steep.

    This is going to be a fast finish isn't it? Not good for G, thought they might keep the pace higher to neutralise the punchy climbers at the finish.

    I thought Carlton was talking out of his rear when he said they'd gone through the steep bit of that climb.
