Happy 4th of July!!!
The first week of racing in le Tour is always chaotic. The mountain men fear it, the sprinters love it, and the reporters have plenty to write about.
The biggest losers in the GC hunt have to be Lotto Belisol who lost JVDB to injury and Astana who have one man within 7 minutes of the lead and two abandons already.
Most of the other GC riders have come unscathed through the first six stages. This is rare, but nice to see.
Winners in le Tour so far are Orica Greenedge who have been winning stages, swapping yellow, getting buses stuck and bringing a distinct Australian feeling to France.
Look for more sprint trains running the peloton in the next couple days.
