In the years 1919-1924 they always did a stage of 482 km, from Les Sables-d'Olonne to Bayonne.
Today no way to recognize riders bc of rain jackets. Better than usual but no numbers on jackets.
Was it years after people took the train?209 km is the longest stage!? In the years 1919-1924 they always did a stage of 482 km, from Les Sables-d'Olonne to Bayonne. Nowadays they'd need three stages to cover that distance.

Good morning, R.C., we meet again at the Tour!Good morning, chaps. It's a Mathieu kind of day!

I was so thankful for the echelon yesterday that saved him!A big question about the rain is whether Primož can stay on his bike.
Or put in correct traffic management. I.e close certain roads off for tour traffic only etc.Dear ASO, this is why you don't start a stage in a random village.

Back in the day they had more and better variants of potatoes, that now don't exist anymore. This way they could eat like 300g of carbs per hour.
Every roundabout is scary.I just hope there won't be any carnage today. Conditions do not look good :/
