Je m'inquiète moins pour Marceau qui je pense ne se fera pas reprendre avant la càp, que pour C Robin qui même si elle connaît le parcours, reste tout de même novice sur la distance et risque de le payer.
Mais j'espère me tromper et être à côté de la plaque

[pass]

Enfin il était temps que les arbitres arrivent car les 5 poursuivants on aurais dis une échappée du tour de France ! A toi à moi à toi à moi, comme ça ils sont sur de rentrés sur Marceau
