I went to see the ToB a few years back when it came through Warwickshire. They went up Burton Dassett which I've attempted to cycle up a few times and nearly had a heart attack every time. The guys in the ToB absolutely flew up it (although the sprinters were at the back, satisfyingly struggling in comparison). There's also a party atmosphere around races like that - even though it was "only" the ToB, there were thousands of spectators and the atmosphere was great.
Cav will not be breaking the record today. He did hint yesterday that the QuickStep team would not be trying to control the pelaton today after two hard mountain days Paris it is then on Sunday.
