Le Tour: Watched the brilliant Alpine Stage 11 between Albertville and La Rosiere Espace San Bernardo. More to the point – with the Froome-obsessed media coverage, especially the BBC – what a joy to see Geraint Thomas’ superb win: cracking viewing watching him conquering everyone in such style. To be the virtual Yellow Jersey holder, and then to confirm it with such a striking and impressive win. Congratulations to that man – probably the best stage win in a Grand Tour I have ever seen! R75
