Stage 04: Villers-Cotterets to Joigny

I managed to get a ride on a Tour motorcycle today. The scenery was a little better than yesterday, but from the motor there are more opportunities to shoot. Six guys were in a break for most of the day. The six were Juan Antonio Flecha, Sylvan Chavanel, Christian Knees, Matthieu Sprick and Gorka Verdugo. The roads were really tight and the photographers on motorbikes got stuck behind the race way too much. We finally got around with 15k to go and made it to the finish in time for Norwegian Thor Hushovd's sprint win.
