"The peloton is passing a field of white cows. This region of France is known for its bovine...*goes off on a tangent*... Of course, none of that matters to any of the riders, except that they might like a nice steak at the end of the day"

"We now watch the riders make their way up the mountain road, chosen by the road department as the least arduous path. I can tell you right now these riders would disagree with their choice"
