Since Casper finished 83rd on the stage, it seems like he could have gotten
a flat w/ 5k to go or hidden in the bushes while Vansevenant unknowingly
rode by or _something_. Evdidently Vansevenant felt it necessary to employ
such tactics as well.

Superb effort by Vansevenant to get 2 minutes on the last stage just
amazing. I thought that 6 seconds sprint bonus had actually ruined
it for him.

The last stage rode right by the bike shop of 1972 Lanterne Rouge Alain
Bellouis,
which is near the start of the cote de Gif-sur-Yvette.
