One of the best first weeks of a Tour I can remember, pretty much every stage had something, I think only the second stage that Greipel won was processional. Do like the incorporation of mini-classics into it, will be a hard act to follow next year. Like seeing G in the top ten, he's been so powerful all week, I don't see him as an overall contender for GC in the future, but hey stranger things have happened, look at Froome. If he does cue 'transformation' cries from the Luddites in the clinic (already happening if course) but the man is pure class on a bike. Looking forward to Tuesday
It's been a mental first week. I feel like I need a rest day from spectating! Looking forward to the mountains and seeing if Quintana or Contador are capable of dethroning Froome. It doesn't look like Nibali is up to the task this year.
