Le Tour on Twitter: Episode 3

Two weeks down and baring the small group in today's break, the rest of the race had a virtual day off. With a rest day to come tomorrow they should be fresh for the final kick ahead. Here's what's on the riders minds as they take to Twitter ahead of the rest day tomorrow. 

VandeVelde,Christian ‏@ChristianVDV
Thanks for all love today. Gave it everything today but found myself with a much faster rider than myself. Great to be amongst it again.

David Millar ‏@millarmind
Man alive I felt good today. Did the old one-two with @ChristianVDV. Pity the finish wasn't up a big mountain; he'd have won by miles if so.

Samuel Dumoulin @ SamuelDumoulin
Congratulations to Pierrick Fedrigo for his victory, he can be there at the right moment.Thomas Voeckler still in bonne.Ma reputation has served me!

Mark Cavendish ‏@MarkCavendish
Even a realist can dream....

Andre Greipel ‏@AndreGreipel
Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes...some painful birthday presents I got today...Thanks to the Tour peleton#appreciate

Greg Henderson ‏@Greghenderson1
Saddle firmly implanted up sphincter for first 70k today. So hard these roads. Not a meter of flat. So happy for the rest day tmoro.

Jens Voigt ‏@thejensie
I just realised today that beyond pain there is a whole new universe of more pain....

Fredrik Kessiakoff @FredrikKess
Finally another day of rest tomorrow. Todays first 70kms were really hard, then steady pace to the finish. A lot of tired legs by now...
