tpinot - Thanks! I hope to score a victory in that jersey here  |

Some heavy racing here! The level at the Tour is higher than any level elsewhere. Maybe except for the World Championships.
A podium is still the goal, but I'll be more than happy with a top 5 and even top 10 place, considering this is my first Tour.
 Tour de France - Stage 3
Van Impe was clear: don't initiate attacks in the first week. I won't, but I will answer other attacks by close competitors.
The Race Manresa is in love with red dots. So he went looking for them!
Meanwhile, I was getting used to the cameras finding me. As long as I don't have an off day, I'm all right with it.
When Froome went, it was a sign to react!
I was able to follow, but let me be honest here; I was glad to be hanging on at this point. I didn't step up to the pace at all. No wasting energy, especially not when you don't have any to spare!
Nibali brought a big group back in the downhill section that followed.
I missed the punch to sprint for the victory but I managed my first Tour podium place in a stage, great!

A good stage for me. The level is very high but I'm proving I can step up to it. Can't wait for the real mountains!
See you later,
Henry |

But you can't let the weeding story unfinished

Selwink - Yes indeed, thanks
Jakstar22 - hope to keep it up!
sutty68 - That'd be great!
The_hoyle - Well, it's certainly no bad start
The Hobbit - Preferably two steps up
duxili - I'm evil, ain't I? The wedding story isn't unfinished, but during the Tour, Henry has little time, so it's hard for him to continue the story. Maybe he'll write the next installement on the first rest day
Atlantius - Thanks, hope it gets even better!
Have an exam in an hour or two. So when I get back, there are two options:
1. Exam went good -> I'm happy and play PCM.
2. Exam went bad -> I play PCM to forget about it.
So expect the next update later today |

I'm just as logical as PCM, ain't I?
Oh, and for those who were wondering: the little personal piece that preceeds a race is not gone, but with Henry racing in the Tour, he has little chance to write it the next piece will probably come either after the Tour of maybe on a rest day!
Hope you agree with that! |

My coment seems to have gone missing, but anyway it's great to see Henry back in the tricolore, and a podium on his third stage at Le Tour is awesome too.
And good luck for your exam.

krisa - Thanks, I quite agree! All eyes are on Henry. But Manresa snatching that KoM jersey for a few days is very good of him, relieving some stress of Henry. Even if it's only maybe 0.5% or something |

Tour de France - Stages 4 - 6
Stage 4 The final day on the island. I feel like the cast in Lost.
Quite obviously a race for the sprinters. Though nobody expected Bouhanni to take the victory today!
But it was also the day of the big gaps. Van Den Broeck lost minutes today, tough sentence.
Stage 5 Even flatter...
It was quite a windy stage, but the peloton kept together mostly.
Kristoff still thinks he can win a stage here, so he was near the front when the sprinters were getting ready.
He wasn't far off today. A fourth place!
Stage 6 Another hilly stage. Will there be fireworks today?
The breakaway saw many strong punchers, like ex-World Champion Gilbert.
To my surprise, there were no attacks being prepared. It seems the favorites are aiming their guns on tomorrow instead...
And so it was a victory for someone in the break, Gilbert! Way past his prime, it's great for him to win another stage here. That shows that even when the body gets weaker, some have the mind of a winner and that never gets old.

A 10th place and two 11th places. In mass sprints? I can only conclude my form is getting along great!
Tomorrow a mountain stage, but not just any mountain stage, the stage has a summit finish on Hautacam, where Luc Leblanc won the first time it was features in the Tour, in the same year he conquered the Rainbow Jersey.
Maybe a sign?
