Onboard cameras are commonly used in motor sports. They'll make their debut at the Tour de France in a trial over three weeks of racing. Every day, four riders from two different teams will carry an ultra-light camera. They'll turn it on themselves as they'll approach the key moments of the race. After each stage, a video will be edited, published on letour.fr and available for team's websites and broadcasters.

A step closer, next year live should be the norm.

I gave a serious amount of thought to those first two picks. I think Movistar at that price can't be a bad bet, given the depth of their squad. Might still go in at a later date. Gerrans for Stage 2? Haven't looked at it yet, but he shouldn't be far off the front. Hope you had a good laugh at my recommends on Fred. Straight out of left-field that lot.

Tough race to find any value these days, so the main category bets look like mini banzais, but there is value there (I hope!)

Talk this week that stage 1 finish could be too difficult for Kittel, & Degenkolb will be sprinting for Giant. Hear anything?

Liking that Greipel & Lotto are talking confidently about this stage. Technical roads & the normal nervous peloton will inevitably result in crashes I think.

Good luck CWS interesting stuff as always.

Well done Yorkshire - don't think I have ever seen crowds this big at any race start. Great to see.
