So, from now on everyody just cruising to keep their place?

It's interesting how divided opinions are regarding Seb O. However, the fact that he gives fairly comprehensive answers to questions asked and replied to, not in his native language, means that often his emphasis may be mistaken or those hearing him, especially those for whom english is also not their 1st language, may put their own interpretations to support their pre-conceptions. What he said is a long way from Je m'en balance (English equivalent, 'I don't give a monkey's') which would easily slip out if he were even mildly fed up with the line of question. What I heard was a matter of fact answer to a deliberately provocative question (all journos know the history). Nothing in what Seb O said can be interpreted as 'unsportsmanlike', brusque at worst.

If he survives it isn't that cold...

Seb Marshall ‏@sebmarshall Some strange sights observed when out doing ice note crew, never as odd as this though! He must be a bit cold!!

240 km of stages left, very hard weather expected for last leg. More and more problems with tyres to come too.
