At the start of the tour. One hour to go. Excellent spot and lots to see. Right next to all the support bikes. You'd think they'd put something useful in those panniers wouldn't you!

Things beginning to move, lots of team cars going by. Let's all look out for Moto 503. He has a newspaper. When is he going to read that?
11.46
My mistake, promotional copies.
11.57
Bikes are moving out, after applying lots of suncream. Optimistic if you ask me. The newspaper may be in French but I can read the weather forecast.
12.03
Sudden surge of action, lots of radios beeping. Feeling a bit guilty I'm not more of a fan.
Turns out 503 is a journalist. That'll explain the papers.
12.10
5 minutes till they set off. This is the level of French I understand. This is good news as I am hungry and need the loo.
12.13
Two minutes. Camera at the ready, video to follow!
(can't upload video from here so screen shots will have to suffice!)
