It was pretty deserted. Tellingly, at least half the vendors had given up and had packed up when we arrived at four o'clock, the fosters tent was empty, but they made up for this by pumping out horrendous music that drowned out the commentary for those not sat within 100m of the screen.
There were a lot of families and groups who seemed entirely disinterested in the cycling, which made me think that predominantly locals had turned up to try and sunbathe.
It was a lovely way to watch the stage, I hope it is back next year.
