just heard a comment that seanyates as the director has been excluded today for throwing a water bottle at a camera man ??

As the DS, he was responsible for the action of the people in the team car. So although he didn't throw the bottle, he get's the one-day ban. The mechanic threw the bottle.

Brrrrrrrr!

 

Weather: hot and sunny with tarmac-melting temperatures of 33˚C with a light 10km/h tailwind from the west.

I think your description is correct. Tar seems to be different in Europe. Perhaps to cope with the colder average temp but in Italy and England I rode on melting tar at temperatures I found quite comfortable. When tar melts in SA it can be a bit tougher.

Did he get it from a Orica mate this time, or has he learnt his lesson?

All on his ace.... no buddies in sight
