I bet the French are looking sadly at their coffee and croissants as British riders occupy the 1st & 2nd place in the overall standings of the Tour de France.
Just to add insult to injury an Italian is 3rd.
Brits Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome both in the SKY team occupy the top 2 slots.
Last year`s Aussie
winner Cadel Evans trailing in 4th place
and was soundly out ridden by the GB duo yesterday as well as in the previous Time Trial.
The French did at least have something to celebrate yesterday though as their rider Pierre ROLLAND
rode superbly, winning the stage, deservedly.
Nice scenery even if the racing is of little interest.
