Greipel at finish
“I’m so happy today, my guys, they supported me really well,” said a slightly out of breath Greipel after the finish. “I’m just so happy to have these guys on my side, such strong riders to lead me out. Its what we wanted to do, winning a stage. I’m so happy.”

Manx Missile makes it four for TdF 2010
The 18th Stage of the TdF was from Salies-de-Béarn to Bordeaux, a distance of 198km. A flat stage after the last 4 days in the Pyrenees was a relief to all riders and the fact that there was almost no effort to chase the inevitable breakaway till the last kms, also showed the mindset of the riders, who just want to finish this tour on the streets of Paris on Sunday.
A typical departure - start of day
Ale Jet flies again!!
The 4th Stage of the TdF was from Cambrai to Reims a distance of 154km and was an extremely peaceful ride, when compared to the fare that we have seen in the last 3 days!! A stage where the Sprinters of the teams were to fight it out in a bunch finish, turned out to be exactly that.
Cambrai, from where the tour started of today has a population of around 34,000 and the last time the Tour visited the town the US Postal team with Lance Armstrong had taken over the race and the Yellow jersey.

The cycling crazy people of Rotterdam had a field day as over 450,000 people had turned up for this 2 day start of the TdF 2010. This when considering that the city boasts a population of only 600,000!! The Erasmus bridge was once again the focus spot as all the riders stopped there before starting of today’s ride.
