I'll just add edits to this:
On the 'oh my dear sweet' topic, I am adding Sylvain Chavanel >>"It was a day I will remember for a long time," said the French champion Sylvain Chavanel after the stage to Lisieux. "I’m still in the race thanks to my sports directors. I even stopped during the stage, but they spurred me on by reminding me that this is The Tour! And that I’m carrying the symbol of my country on my shoulders. "I stuck it out even though the mobility in my shoulder is really limited... every time I try to stand on my pedals I’m shot through with pain. To suffer like this while riding is no walk in the park, but I also want to stay tough for all the fans who have supported me, even today along the sides of the roads."<< I'm adding his brother on principle ;)
Oh you poor dear, mechanical division >>There’s one difference in today’s stage to all the other (except the TTT of stage two): Rein Taaramae (COF) has not punctured... the Estonian has had at least one flat every other day so far this year.<<
Today I <3 the organisers - >>Today’s finish line is about 100 meters earlier than what it is for the other bike races that have concluded in Chateauroux. The organizer have positioned the finish outside the house of Marcel Dussault. The Frenchman won three stages of the Tour during his career which spanned 14 years from 1947. The line is in front of 348 Avenue de la Châtre...<<
