There was an exciting finish to Stage Thirteen. Andre Greipel pipped Peter Sagan to win in the final seconds.
Phil Liggett: What an exciting finish! Andre Greipel wins the stage! And Bradley Wiggins retains the yellow jersey! There'll be celebrations tonight in the Lotto-Belisol and Sky teams.
Paul Sherwen: Yes, it makes you wonder who had the lucky stone in his pocket today.
Phil Liggett: There will be plenty of discussion about that, no doubt. I hear Team Philosophe is thinking of lodging a protest.
Paul Sherwen: Indeed they are. The lucky stone was theirs originally, until that unfortunate incident the other day.
Phil Liggett: Yes, Team Philosophe's hopes of winning a stage are looking pretty dim, unless they can get their precious Ouvert back. I believe their youngest team member Arthur Rimbaud is particularly cut up.
Paul Sherwen: He is. He promised to take Ouvert back to La Rochelle.
Phil Liggett: And yet La Rochelle isn't on the Tour de France route this year.
Paul Sherwen: I don't think young Arthur knew that. He'll need to get Ouvert back before the Tour gets to Pau.
Phil Liggett: It would certainly be the closest point to La Rochelle. I hear Sweezus is keen to recover Ouvert for less noble reasons.
Paul Sherwen: Yes, according to Gaius, their team leader.
Phil Liggett: He told you that, Paul?
Paul Sherwen: Let's say I overheard it.
Phil Liggett: And I heard that Gaius may be going to be replaced by a woman.
Paul Sherwen: Nothing but idle gossip, that one, Phil, I'm sure.
