    Just curious, I thought they normally neutralised the GC race on arriving in Paris, or maybe with 1 or two laps to go so that they get the GC winning team to finish in formation - did that not happen on Sunday, looked like they were very carefully making sure Bernal got the finish in the main group?

    Only when it's wet.
    Ta, I must have only seen wet finishes then! There was still a very real chance of a big tumble collecting the yellow jersey in the bunch sprint.

    Also, has the gutter now been taken out of the equation? I didn't get chance to watch much yesterday, but there seemed to be new kerbs about 4ft away from the kerb proper so that option had gone.

    There were remarks that at certain points it's narrower because they ve put a proper cycling lane in...

    Also, I think security was on point this year.

    Would Alanis Morisette agree on irony here?

    No, because that is true irony.

    Not sure if it's been posted already. Sorry if it has
    The scenes with Bernal and his family at the finish line were really quite touching.

    Rigo Uran arranged for Ergan's brother to come over. It was a surprise.
