Walking the first few kms of today stage which starts in Cambridge. A few tricky chicanes in the centre of town Inside one of Team Belkin's busses' hatchets... Would hate to see the state of it in 3 weeks time! Team busses stretch for days.... pays to arrive early! An education on how to colour code: Pro vibes on Cannondale My ride for today's stage... a Cannondale team car! Not too shabby. Passing through the centre of Cambridge... even more fans than in York. Passing through the centre of Cambridge... even more fans than in York. Leaving Cambridge. Lots of South African support on route... pity there are none of our riders to shout for. It's absolute chaos when feeding opens. Riders are darting around the place and cars are driving like maniacs. The peloton eases through the British countryside. A Cannondale rider hits the deck at 70kph as a mechanic fixed his gears. Bounced up and carried on. Weapon! Here he is chasing back. Commissars gave us gears about helping him back. The roads are now soaked... Sprinters gonna take their lives into their own hands! Suspense is immense. Speeds next level! Ted King and Saxo rider are bleeding to get back to peloton We've reached the City. Bankers lining the streets cheering on our two wounded bears and then into a tunnel! The boys rode a brave last 10km into London. What an amazing few days at Le Tour. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. This is Oliver Munnik signing out from London.
