Dai Bank Jul 2013 3:28pm, 1 Jul 2013 3,586 posts	0 Dai Bank We were in Ajaccio last year walking down the hill in the town that Froomey took off on yesterday.

My plan to mute from about 10k seems to mean that I don't suffer from mis-identification angst although I doubt many non-Pro commentators would have spotted Bakelants rather than Irizar yesterday and argued with the posted ID on screen. Sadly I reckon Cav's hopes for Green are fading rapidly, not many would have bet that any of Cav, Greipel, Sagan would leave Corsica with no stage wins, I certainly didn't
