“Certainly yes, it's all about the situation.”
Sean's Tour de France Femmes summariser for fast men who can't be hanging about
Well, umm, when to tune in, and when not to bother. As we say in cycling, it's all about the situation. Outcomes hidden.

| Stage | Date | Route | Profile | Tune in | Sean reckons |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Aug | Lausanne to Lausanne | one for the fast men | waiting on it | As we say in cycling, it's a bunch sprint, and it should go to one of the fast men. That's the way it'll go. |
| 2 | 2 Aug | Aigle to Genève | one for the fast men | waiting on it | On paper, it's a bunch sprint, and it should go to one of the fast men. No doubt about it. |
| 3 | 3 Aug | Genève to Poligny | a lumpy one | waiting on it | As we say in cycling, it's a reduced bunch sprint, or a break if it gets away, and it should go to a fast man who can climb a bit, or an escapee. But I wouldn't put the house on it. |
| 4 | 4 Aug | Gevrey-Chambertin to Dijon | the race of truth | don't bother | A glorified training ride with a number on. Race of truth, they call it. Truth is nobody watches. |
| 5 | 5 Aug | Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais | a lumpy one | waiting on it | On paper, it's a reduced bunch sprint, or a break if it gets away, and it should go to a fast man who can climb a bit, or an escapee. Though it's a difficult one, that. |
| 6 | 6 Aug | Montbrison to Tournon-sur-Rhône | a lumpy one | waiting on it | Well, umm, on paper it's a reduced bunch sprint, or a break if it gets away, and it should go to a fast man who can climb a bit, or an escapee. Though it's a difficult one, that. |
| 7 | 7 Aug | La Voulte-sur-Rhône to Mont Ventoux | a proper mountain day | waiting on it | Certainly yes, it's a GC day, though the break may be given room, and it should go to a climber, from the break or the favourites. Though it's a difficult one to call. |
| 8 | 8 Aug | Sisteron to Nice | one for the fast men | waiting on it | Looking at it, it's a bunch sprint, and it should go to one of the fast men. But you'd never know with this race. |
| 9 | 9 Aug | Nice to Nice | a proper mountain day | waiting on it | Well, umm, on paper it's a GC day, full gas, and it should go to a climber. And I'd be surprised if it went any other way. |
