The lede-out, stage 8.5 : Everything you need to know about the TDF today

Rest day.

We know we're your sole source of information about the world's biggest pro cycling event.

Since we take our responsibility to you so seriously, it behooves us to let you know that today is a rest day. (If you were relying on your official Velo News/ Le Equipe guide, you would have been expecting yesterday's stage today, and you would -- like God -- have taken the rest day yesterday.)
