Aye letour.fr just corrected……result…..

What’s the deal with the number of kisses?

Most seem to do three Cav always goes for four. Voeckler only does two.

On the green jumper presentation he only bothered with two.

I asked someone that the other day 🙂 Whats the deal?

I think there are only a couple of days where Cav wont be right at the front on the intermediate sprint, there’s one into Bourg D’Oisans coming off Galibier. I think he will be way back in the caravan by that stage.

Apart from that one they are early in the day before big mountain finishes which I dont THINK Gilbert will win. No reason Cavendish cant keep green.

the bike was up originally but not there now no idea but it was white with little red dots

Yeah I though the 4 kisses thing was was strange. He caught out the podium girl last week when he did it. The German and Swiss women I used to work with did 3. Dutch and French 2. With British if it happens it one a often awkward. Maybe on IoM its 4?

you’d think with that all or nothing attitude he’d go right in for tongues

it’s cool to see Cav win but hopefully it will really get going tomorrow.

Maybe on IoM its 4

Like to see how that would go down in the local spar shop.

Thats the Manx way if it’s a Peel girl 😀

no-one gets that joke…

This is true, though if you grew up on the IOM you might. 🙂

armchair predictions for tomorrow?

Voeckler to stay in yellow by just a few seconds
Contador to escape but too little too late
Evans to look grumpy

I’ve heard (on QI) that in different parts of France you do a different amount of kisses, anywhere from 2 to 5 I think.

My internet went down straight after I posted this thread, and only just got it back annoyingly. Managed to catch the stage on ITV4 though.

Possibly one of my favourite stages so far. Terrible weather, but no crashes, a brilliant break that almost made it, and a tricky win for Cav, putting him into the green jersey. Perfect IMO.

That picture is great. ‘smell my sweaty pits suckers!’

Yup. 3 bises here in Montpellier, but only if being informal. Algerian, Moroccan, Tunisian men use four kisses, just not to the women.

Four kisses = one for each cheek? 8)

5 kisses in North / Paris, 3 in the south IIRC..

Renshaw = Legend! What a great lead out!

Were Sky working for their own sprinter, or for the greater good of Team GB? 😉

I thought the same actually re Sky.

Or practicing for next year 😉
