Forty years ago, I sparked a girl in Bayeux.
Thousands of miles away, a butterfly flapped one wing and we drifted apart. Today, Gouvenou takes me back through the mists of time to a scene of indescribable beauty.
Is “sparked” old man slang for “banged”?
Must be an irish phrase, sounds like topcat set her on fire, and not in the romantic sense. Nothing wrong with that of course if that’s what she was into, 2025 and all that, different strokes etc..

Will Schachmann and WVA try to win the stage from breakaway or wil they be on leader protection duty ?
I noted Gregoire, Mohoric, every single EF, Louis Barré, most AG2R for the break.

Gregoire says he hopes to be in the break.

MVdP says he will join the break if it's a large group.

Looks like a breakaway win.

Every single Jayco should have such ambitions too. O'Connor early GC collapse is the least surprising thing of 2025.

Laurance said that he expects Arkea to try to keep things together for Vauquelin. But obviously, they'd need help

Vauquelin will try to win today so if he doesn't enter in the break, Arkea will work IMHO.

That seems really optimistic from Arkea. But maybe. I guess they don't have much else to do.

There's apparently some nonsense going on with Vingegaard refusing to wear the polkadots because they got the wrong sponsors on it and it would violate some rules regarding promotion of gambling that recently got prohibited.
Why is he wearing the polka dot jersey? Wellens is in front of him.

Had a crack team of lawyers on all night pouring through legal documents so he doesn't have to don that abortion.

Looking forward to this, hopefully some guys a bit down sneak in to get some time back, hopefully too early for the lesser teams to start defending positions.

Intermarché is going to control this for intermediate

Understandable. They need the points. Milan too.

So we'll have to wait 20kms.

Ok a new tactic... but is it a smart one? Milan then will win the intermediate. If they would try to attack with Girmay maybe he wins it...
