< Stage 15 - Home - Stage 16 >
The second rest day, it's time to look at the riders' positions in the general qualification and for many team leaders to come up with a good fantasy story why their guy is doing so poorly. There will have been a lot of transporting to get all the equipment and people here to Nîmes. We'll also know today who predicted the correct Red Lantern rider on the first rest day.
Obviously no rider is going to win today so we are doing something else. Predict which rider will have the Lanterne Rouge (Red Lantern) at the end of the Tour, after the last stage.
Red Lantern 'Winner': TBD
Built around 100 A.D., shortly after the Coliseum of Roma, the Arena of Nîmes is the best preserved roman amphitheatre in the world. It is 133 meters long (145 yards) and 101 meters wide (110 yards), with an arena measuring 68 meters (74 yards) by 38 meters (32 yards). The outer facade is 21 meters high (69 feet) with 2 stories of 60 arcades. It is among the 20 largest roman amphitheatres of the 400 in existence. In roman times, the building could hold 24.000 spectators who were spread over 34 tiers of terraces divided into 4 self-contained zones or maeniana. The arena served as a public event theatre built by the Romans as well as a gladiator fighting arena.

Offredo is still hanging on, but I see him challenged hard by Langeveld, who is now my Lanterne Rouge in Paris.
