The day broke to a spectacular sunrise. Barely a cloud in the sky with 14 degree temperatures made the group giddy with excitement at the thought of riding through some of France's most famous streets a few hours before the pros would race on them. We wound our way west along the Seine towards the Place de la Concorde, before negotiating the cobbles up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. A bottle of champagne was obviously de rigueur at the base of the Arc while photo opportunities were soaked up.
The hard men
The mistress
Inside the pavilion on the Champs Elysees
Le Wiggo doing what Le Wiggo does best
Cavendish - the eventual winner of the stage
A sea of Green (Edge)
Dell - all quiet on the western front...
The only way to see the Eiffel Tower
