a) Amazing Tour so far - not a dull stage. Even the potential Kittel v Cav shoot out has barely been missed.
b) Green Jersey could have had a bit more competition, but watching sulky Sag fight for pretty much every point has been good.
c) Seeing so many riders cracking or putting in one big effort one day then gone the next is so much more exciting than the dopage years. The efforts seem believable and it looks so much more painful - the riders seem human, not super-human. (Doping thread >>>>)
d) Though I wish Valverde would cock off. Come on Timothéés - only a few seconds to catch up.
