I was trying. So now I probably won't be allowed to speak a word of English for the rest of the Tour without getting a little grief. On the bright side, I guess it's good that an old dog like me can learn a new trick or two every now and then.

Tomorrow will be another difficult day. It's the Paris-Roubaix stage of the Tour this year. I'm not a big guy so I'm not really looking forward to riding the cobblestones. I'm glad we had a chance to preview the roads before the start of the race. So we know what's ahead, and what we have to do to stay out of trouble. Now it's just a matter of doing it. Wasn't I just saying something about stress?

Thanks for reading.
