Team Condor has dodged a bullet.
Marcel has been let go.
At the end of yesterday's stage he was hauled up to face Christian Prudhomme.
Christian Prudhomme: How is it that you were riding Sagan's bike?
Marcel: I came across it and decided on the spur of the moment to use it.
Christian Prudhomme: You decided! Meanwhile a great search was set off!
Marcel: Well, here it is. He can have it back now, and he will find it is not damaged in any way as I...
Christian Prudhomme: Do I know you?
Marcel: Not personally, but I am well known in my way, due to a very long novel I published years ago, and if I may say so it...
Christian Prudhomme: If you were not wearing a curly blue wig I would swear that you were Marcel Proust the famous writer and literary icon of France.
Marcel (removing the wig): It is kind of you to say so.
Christian Prudhomme: Alors! We can hardly pursue you. As to Sagan's bike, we'll say no more about it.
Marcel: Toot!
Christian Prudhomme: Was that a French tout?
Marcel: No it was English.
and so on.....
Today is another flat day.
Somehow we all expect Cavendish to win it.
His team Deceuninck Quickstep leads him out -
positions him perfectly -
all he has to do is -
in the final seconds -
speed up.
