Bonus Posted July 3, 2017 Author Posted July 3, 2017 Been there a few times - all that waiting and then they're gone! Hoping to catch them somewhere next week :-) Edit: Incidentally, one of the weirdest things to do is to watch them in a village with a bar (so any French village then), then after they go by you go in and watch them on TV. Seeing what you just saw live, on TV with commentary def feels a bit odd.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Apart from the last 5 kms I thought it was a dead boring stage typical of the TDF, long, boring and slow, I had to go check the TV timetable to see I wasn't watching last years Argus. The poor commentator had to babble on trying to make out all sorts of things were brewing to try and keep the attention, when in fact everyone was simply cruising along in the sun chatting to each other. Hope tomorrow is more interesting.

Hope tomorrow is more interesting. There was Thomas de gent punishing his pedals for 35km, was great to watch. Not every day can be massive otherwise they lo become boring. Need some chill before the thrill!!

Sent from my SM-N9005 using TapatalkThe last 45 kms was intense indeed Admittedly, it was about 220+ kms of rolling terrain today which can at times be like watching paint dry (watching the gap to the break) The scenery was stunning ????????

Those lighies are crazy
