To save our selves about 3 or 4 hours driving, we packed up camp this morning and took the caravan with us, leaving it at a service station on the motorway just before we turned off to position ourselves on the course. We didn't have much trouble with road closures today but due to the distance to travel and packing up we knew we wouldn't quite make the caravane so unfotunately, we never managed to see the whole thing as it seemed to be a a shortened version in Monaco and they didn't hand much out where we were positioned at the time. We managed to score a great spot in a bus stop so we had seating, shade and were right by 2 corners so a great spot for photos.
The teams of 9 left at 7 minute intervals coming past us about 10 minutes later. We nearly managed to miss Silence Lotto but just managed to get our cameras posed to get some shots of Cadel. It was probably, although not as exciting as Sunday's finish, the most interesting day as it was spread over several hours and more interesting seeing the manouvers of a team rather than just a single rider going past. Once the 'course de fin' van came though, we picked up the caravan and drove about an hour and a half down the road before stopping at another service centre for the night.
