Today we have the obligatory transfer and according to custom there is much to fit into the day.
Phil has convinced the Ride team that we can transfer, ride, spectate at stage 8, ride a little more and continue on to our new base in the heart of the Pyrenees.
We will tick off an iconic climb, some will start sooner than others and its race on to the top of Port de Bales, where we intend to intersect the Tour de France as the peleton comes stampeding up the first of the Pyrenean climbs. The main contenders will be trying to whittle away any threats to the title and we expect it to be select bunch that summits first.
We descend to the vans together before finishing our journey and where, once we have settled in, dinner is on the house.
