I presume you mean Kittel. ...The stage is due to finish between 8.30 and 8.45pm BST.
Yes Kittel, phone auto correction!
Thanks for the info on the time.

Speaking of Jens Voigt, I hope he'll be allowed to head up the peloton as it rolls onto the Champs Elysees.

I soooooooooo want one of those TdF indoor training bikes. They're so cool, but the reviews I've said indicate that a lot of issues have to be ironed out yet. *sigh*

He should be, though they might not want to let him for fear he jumps away and creates the breakaway! It'll be up to Team Sky, they're the ones who lead into the Place de la Concorde as the maillot jaune team.

Is there anyone else retiring this year?

For any fellow cyclists out there, Sky have put up some very interesting nutrition videos with the team chef, showing the food they prepare and how to prepare it yourself. Going to give the porridge a shot tomorrow........

Have they already mentioned that Rolland has lost his KOM points from yesterday for his little indiscretion?

Don't think so, but it makes no difference, so it's old news.

Nice to see Quintana in polka dots and Talansky looking after the white jersey for the day - he's had a great Tour as well, so good to see him having that honour

Haven't seen much of Sky riding together - did they take a team photo the way AG2R did? And have they done the champagne yet? Rodriguez, Quintana and the cigar was funny

Annoying to see Contador just riding off and leaving Kreuziger when they were both changing bikes - they had plenty of time to get back on, so why on earth didn't he wait?

More to the point, why were they both changing bikes? Odd.

These two 4th cat climbs are a complete waste of time, at least find 2.riders willing to make some sort of contest out of them, theyre the only thing worry looking at in the first two hours.

Maybe some different advertising on it? It was odd.

Well they're on the road to Paris, so hardly a waste of time, and the celebrations and fun are far more worth looking at than two mini-climbs...
