redfiona99I haven't said much about it for fear of jinxing it, given that at the moment there is a French leader and if I can't have a Vino victory, I want a French one. And it's one of the Chavanal brothers.
We've lost one of the Schleck brother, Frank, I think, through a crash and broken bones.
But the thing I'm posting for is this lovely quote from Karsten Kroon, he "has orange bar tape on his bike today. "I’m showing my support for the Dutch team on the day of the World Cup final," he told Sebastien Piquet of Radio Tour earlier today, "but no matter what the result - even if the Dutch win - I’m taking it off tomorrow... because it looks terrible..."
Tomorrow's stage is the first of evil mountain stages, so I can't blame him.
Also, the Francais de Jeux team got no sleep last night because there was a wedding at the hotel they were in.
