MIDNIGHT DINING IN FRANCE

In lieu of the pissaladiere and salade nicoise, Alexander Kristoff and Julian Alaphilippe celebrated their maillots jaunes in Nice with tako sausages and karaage.

Caleb Ewan sprinted for a neko manma and sake-steamed clams in Sisteron which Primoz Roglic countered with an ochazuke and nokogori a day later in Orcieres-Merlette.  

The flamme rouge in Privas and Lavaur were memorialized by Wout van Aert with offerings of potato salad, butter rice, cream stew and tuna mayo rice.

Katsudon and pickled Napa cabbage powered Alexey Lutsenko up Mont Aigoual but Ilnur Zakarin got lost in the descents because Tsvetkov, Malodementevsk and Zaslavsk apparently don't exist in Google Maps, the method in taming the curves left at the lockers of Nizhny Novgored and Serpukhov that is enough to deliver Loudenvielle to Nans Peters who was greeted with tamago sando and hiyashi chuka at the finish line.

Tadej Pogacar finally triumphed in Laruns which the Slovenians celebrated with yakisoba, nikujaga, light brandy from the poultry, mojito from the corner store and whiskey from the Craft.   


After the opening week and 4 days in the yellow, Adam Yates was briefed over saba shoyiaki, instant ramen and gyoza on the cases against DCI Tony Gates and DI Lindsay Denton, and of Robert Taro and Lucas Barres' revolt because Marseille was left out of the 2020 Tour de France route.

Yates ceded the maillot jaune but we will wear ours until the yellow from our 373 Bikers uniforms fade.
