CN live coverage, stage 18, tdf

I wish the live coverage would talk much less about
doping scandals. Here, for once, they put in a good
word for sanity.

16:13 CEST 150km/61km to go Oh look - a farmer has
spelled out 'vive le tour' in rolls of straw in his
field. The fans are staying with the Tour this year -
there has been quite a lot of support for the riders
left in the race. The doping scandals have gotten to
the point that the riders are actually getting sympathy
instead of jeers.
