ROFL!!! Soooo true. I was wondering on the best camera and support motor bikes for that stretch nowadays? Paris-Roubaix used to see a lot of Transalps :lol:

The next 2 or 3 days will see the GC guys come to the fore with Avermaet likely to lose his yellow jersey if not tomorrow(Tuesday) certainly by Wednesday.

The man in Yellow extended his lead today, much to the surprise of many, but is expected to lose it tomorrow despite being over 2 minutes clear, then it's D'huez on Thursday where he'll definitely not be in it after that :lol:
