The Tour starts Saturday

Whilst we are glued to Wimbledon most French viewers will have their eyes on the Tour de France which wheels off on the isle of Corsica on Saturday. Despite being mired in drug scandals "La Grande Boucle" remains no 1 sporting attraction here.
Unfortunately the nearest we get to the action this year is  on Friday 5th July, when the stage ends at Cap Decouvert near Albi. Coming from Montpellier the stage is expected to give the sprinters a chance.
After Sir Bradley will it be Chris Froome who triumphs this time?
