Sagan and (now) wife Kate visiting Emerald Bay in my home town -

I would have been thrilled to be out for a spin and spot him on the road.

Bike Ping

Wow! Another photo-finish to ID the winner. Marcel Kittel squeezed a breath beyond Bryan Coquard after the longest stage of the race. I feel bad for Coquard. He was within a hair of putting his name in the record books and getting kissed on the podium, only to be forgotten by sunrise. But, Peter Sagan (right there as always), knows how to stay close and assess what it takes to keep the Yellow Jersey.

And now the road tilts up. It's not the toughest stage as mountains go, but it's longer than usual with several rated climbs.

Will we see an early statement from the likes of ValVerde or Quintana, or might they cool their jets a while and mark the ambitious wannabes who stretch it out early? As they say, "It's time to start separating the ascenders from the pretenders."
