    Did Rolland really not know the stage finishes down the bottom?

    But you're not a pro hoping to do something on this stage. Surely it's Rolland's job to know these things?

    The obvious issue with a summit finish on Ventoux if you're doing it twice is getting the team buses up it.

    They showed an interview on Eurosport earlier where I think he said he's trying to avoid stressing too much about the Tour, so hadn't looked at it in detail until it was mentioned. He'd just assumed it was a summit finish.

    All 52kg of him is going to need a biggish gap to keep them away on the descent.
