I made sort of an early start this year and have the data for the second stage already sorted out. I will start to log the results in the usual way as in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 now:
STAGE 2: MARTIN still at the front while ROHAN fell back
STAGE 3: FROOME now at the top, CANCELLARA out after mass collision
STAGE 4: 7 drop outs after 4 stages, more to come …
STAGE 5: top 19 now consistent within roughly 2 minutes
STAGE 6: MARTIN drops out as a crash consequence
STAGE 7: 12 drop outs by now, and the mountains still to come
STAGE 8: SAGAN probably has the strongest team (at least so far …)
STAGE 9: Some mix up in the top 16, but none to fall back
STAGE 10: The mountains change everything, FROOME leads by 3′ now
STAGE 11: BUCHMANN out of nowhere
STAGE 12: No change in the top 6, CONTADOR 4’04” behind
STAGE 13: BENNETT to hold the Lanterne Rouge now
STAGE 14: Is team MOVISTAR strong enough to stop FROOME?
STAGE 15: Top 6 within 5′ – the Alpes will shape the winner
STAGE 16: A group of 23 broke out, but no threat for the classement
STAGE 17: GESCHKE wins and CONTADOR looses further ground
STAGE 18: A gap of more than 20′ after the first 15 riders now
STAGE 19: QUINTANA gains 30” on FROOME
STAGE 20: QUINTANA closes the gap to 1’12”, but not close enough
STAGE 21: Au revoir, with a small “error” in the last stage
