Some? There are enough of them around that the local government insist that you carry a loaded weapon at all times when out of town.

I might have been using a certain amount of understatement when I posted that post before!

Tomorrow's stage could be interesting though.

It's just a pity that there aren't many topsprinters in Norway. All these flat stages would have been interesting with some great sprinters.

If Markus has his Qatar-form, he could finally take a win...

Ehh? Not many top sprinters in Norway? What about Edvald Boasson Hagen, Thor Hushovd and Alexander Kristoff?

Yes, everything is relative. Here in Ireland, with a similar population, our best sprinter is a reasonably promising but not wildly successful U23 Conti rider. And he's our best sprinter for years. Three decent World Tour sprinters (all of whom are also good at other things) seems pretty remarkable for a small country.

I think Thibaut Pinot was talking about sprinters participating in the race, not sprinters that are from Norway.
