Posted on 28 August 20144 July 2021 by cosmo

    Thank you for this! I confess I usually do not pay much attention to the early stages of a grand tour, however your breakdown of the stages gives me way more insight at the little and not so little things I completely miss during broadcast. Fingers crossed no one gets heat exhaustion!
