    Me too (though Cancellara was second in the sprint, so it was not completely unjustified what he did).

    But what's wrong with visiting Bretagne? I guess I just don't see the issue. It's not a problem for me that the mountains start on stage 12. Especially not because Pogi will probably just show that there was not much reason to get somewhat intrigued as to whether we might have a battle. It's...
