Right, this is Byrne. It's very beautiful. It's very expensive. But it is very beautiful and a lovely place to wander around on your tod. And that's what I am because, would you believe it, Ned Bolting and David Miller, they've gone. Gary's over there somewhere recording links for the television program

because yes, there's a television program that is constantly getting in the way of this podcast.

So it's me on the own or not.

Because even though there's no one physically anywhere around me,

and I'm sitting in a rather sweaty and rather smelly espas

somewhere down the line in cyberspace.

On the networks, there are recordings, yes, virtual human beings,

here in voice and spirit, if not in person.

And so we'll do a bit of that.

We'll do a bit of listening to what some of the protagonists of being saying for themselves

through the offices of my colleague Daniel Frebe,

who started off this morning with the race leader, Chris Frum.

Chris, tomorrow we're going to see one of the hardest finishes.

You're ever likely to see a Tour de France, the climb to Finno Emerson.

What do you know about the climb?

And do you agree that it's going to be the crucial day as far as your title defence is concerned?

It's certainly going to be right up there.

It's probably the steepest summit finish we've got on this year's Tour de France.

I think if there's a day that my rivals are going to put me under pressure, it's going to be tomorrow.

And you have wreck ahead the climb?

Yes, I have seen the climb tomorrow. I have seen it.

Well, in second place in G.C. is Balka Molymer, and his press conference this morning was at 1015 in the American Embassy.
