Kasper Asgreen won Stage 18 in a smash-and-grab breakaway which superbly held off a totally disorganised peleton who struggled to reel in the 4 riders involved. The GC teams weren't interested and the Sprint teams looked as though they weren't interested until it was too late.
Tomorrow's 173kms stage is from Moirans-en-Montagne to Poligny. The route is a lumpy mix of ups and downs, false flats and a chance for the Sprint teams to learn from today's mistakes. The race might be just as boring as today's was for the most part, but surely, hopefully, not.
Just beyond halfway the riders pass Loulle, home to the famous dinosaurs footprints - much like our potholed roads here then. 22kms from the finish, the route passes through Arbois, home to Louis Pasteur for most of his early years.
