Very pleased to hear of Mario Cippolini’s return to Le Tour after 4 years. Petachi will have some strong competition and I’m sure it will liven up the opening days, especially after last year. Hopefully we will get to see them go head to head in Quimper where we’ll be standing in the crowd. To say I’m looking forward to seeing Le Tour is a bit of an understatement. I think we’ll probably catch it in Briec the night before, then go into town to see the final sprint later in the afternoon.
Had a good ride yesterday, clocked up 31m (the 1 is very important), during which I climbed Harting Down, and almost came a cropper on the way down. My average is building up, and I can do a steady climb, but have trouble on much steeper climbs. Anyway, it was a good day, and felt great when I finally came home.
