    I'm torn whether to stay in and watch the last ~20 riders do the route, who should be all done by 1820ish, or go out for a ride before dinner.


    Not a great spectacle so far.

    Fuglsang got all the way through to today's TT practice without tasting tarmac, but he wasn't getting all the way through the race without at least a little snack. I don't think he does crash-free Tours

    Anyway, we're almost four hours into today's final stage, is there any reason the riders aren't swigging champagne from the bottle while they're riding this abject pointlessness?

    The order on the road is testimony to the strength of UAE

    I don't mind the debrief energy of this stage ...the procession stage early bit is cringe .. too .

    The problem with this non event is that the only possible movement is between Adam Yates and Carlos Rodriguez.

    Any other change would be a big surprise.
