Stage 17 2010 Tour de France

I went with some guests to watch the race down on the valley floor just 1km from our house. We watched it on TV until the riders were at Arrens 14 km away up the Col du Soulor. When they had passed we quickly made our way home to watch the final climb. A bit of an anticlimax really, Andy did not really attack and seemed to have settled for the stage win and second place. Saint Savin has been turned into a TV studio by Belgiun TV for the evening. I’ll go down later and see who turns up.

    Paddy, at least you got a photo of Carlos Sastre going for it, just as you predicted. Too bad he couldn’t bridge up to the breakaway. CHeers.
