Tour Blog Day 18

Well, it’s finally bye bye Bumface, unless of course he goes on the attack on tomorrows stage. I can’t see it, but you never know with Cadel.

Another great showing from the Yellow Jersey today, strength and also keeping calm. Very reminiscent of Indurain. Calm, unflappable tempo up the climbs, demolition in the time trials.

I’m pinching myself now – we are so close to a British TDF winner. It’s incredible.

Tomorrow looks like the last real test. Can’t wait.

And finally to Tommy Voeckler. You have to love any guy that can gurn that well. Top drawer sir!
