Thumbs up Tour de France
Went to watch a stage of the Tour de France on Thursday which passed quite close to us. Amazing organisation, plus the French bring their food, wine, tables and even in some cases barbecues. The Sky team car stopped near us so I went to have a chat. Guy said they stay 25kms ahead of the race and take readings re temperature and wind speed and relay the info back to the riders. Nothing left to chance. Froome looks in great form!

I remember watching the TdF when it came to Brighton. Fantastic atmosphere, huge crowds, gone in 30 seconds!

Looks like I might have been right about Froomes form.
