RIP rider.
There were bidons all over the road after each one I crossed.
Arundel Mandible and bottles <= 750ml FTW. Most of the lost bottles were 1 litre jobbies.
Yelled at a guy who threw a gel wrapper on the road in front of me. Also lots of banana skins and a couple of squashed bananas... not ideal, but nowhere near as many gel wrappers as the Etape.
