There are six tough climbs in the Stage today, but at least two members of Team Bumptious have already exhausted themselves on the route to Lourdes, the day before.
Violetta: Come on guys, it was just a joke!
Gustave: It was no joke Violetta. The gendarmes were on our tail.
Gaius: Yes, and that wasn't all. We had to catch you up to try and prevent you from sploshing the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Violetta: Ha ha! As if I would really do that! But it made you go faster, yes?
Gustave: It did! But now look at us.
Violetta: Pooh! What slugs you two are!
She pedalled away.
Gaius: So, she wouldn't have done it.
Gustave: Maybe she wouldn't. But she must have already done something, since the gendarmes are after us.
Gaius: Yes, that's true. I wonder why they haven't caught up to us yet?
.......
Meanwhile Violetta had caught up to Sweezus and Farky, on the Col de Latrape.
Sweezus: Hi Violetta! Congratulations for yesterday! Where are the others?
Violetta: They've slowed down again. I'll have to come up with something else to get them moving. How are you two doing?
Farky: Wuh! Bike racing is hard for dogs.
Sweezus: It's hard for me too.
Violetta: It's meant to be hard. What's the matter with everyone?
Sweezus: Oh, I don't know. I'm not doing as well as I hoped. I wanted to win a stage, and I haven't even come close.
Violetta: It's not over yet. I didn't know you wanted to win a stage though. I thought you were just here to support The VeloDrone.
Sweezus: Oh that too. But I would like to make my mark in the world.
Violetta: I can help you there!
Sweezus: Really?
Farky: Don't listen to her!
Violetta: Why does nobody trust me?
