It's a bike race, get on with the racing. The route has been known since last October, many of today's peleton raced these same roads in the spring. HTFU peloton.
C'mon, by any TdF standards the race hasn't even started before the end of Day 5. This is just a bit of aclimatisation and bargaining.
As for tomorrow, some people seem to think Cav is handy on the cobbles. However, the news suggests that Cav is on a new machine that is lighter and more rigid than before so I can't see that doing him any favours tomorrow.
