On Stage 1 it was a bus. On Stage 2 it was a dog. And we all know things happen in threes. So what’s going to happen in the final kilometres of tonight’s Stage 3, I wonder?

How about an overzealous Gendarme getting in the way of a lead-out train as he poses for a photo with Swedish fans? Perhaps a family of ducklings waddling across the finish line at the worst possible moment? Or maybe a freak swarm of Albanian bees will attack the peloton at the flamme rouge? Like you, I have no idea what tonight holds. But if we’ve learned anything over the years, it’s to expect the unexpected when it comes to le Tour. How good is it already?
Aarons drink bottle most probably.
