Bastille day always
guarantees a good stage on the Tour de France as the French riders vie for the
headlines and TV exposure on the national holiday, and sure enough it was
Frenchman Warren Barguil who headed a breakaway group of four over the
finishing line; worth noting that if there had been another three in the group
they would have matched the total inmate population of the Bastille the day it
was stormed in 1789 - the building being
more symbolic of royal oppression than an actual place of incarceration for
revolutionaries.
