final point on the second categorized climb of the day David and the way he went

about that business was truly remarkable and I mean he is an impressive rider and

he read the situation perfectly didn't he talk us through it well Well it was fascinating we had a very

becalmed peloton a few teams at the front this was obviously I think it was a

category four climb Ned yeah it. It was the Cut de Louis, about 3

away previously.

Local boys... Name them. Name them. Name them. Name them. Name them.

Name them. local boys name name them name them I can't remember already name them

pet oh no clemont Rousseau and Mathieu Véchezé those guys they were caught uncere

unceremoniously halfway up the climb with no concerted chase in a peloton just positioning.

We looked down at helicopter shots and we were absolutely enthralled trying to figure out where the green jersey was because we thought,

well this is going to be an exciting part of the race because maybe Abra Amson will go after the point that's available.

Meanwhile, Valentine Madwais, the holder of the polka jersey,

was sitting at the back.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Well, you mean the wearer of the wearer, the wearer.

Sorry, the wearer, you know his challenger.
