One hell of a day at the Tour for Dan McLay once again. He was the last man on the road, coming home almost 4 minutes behind the grupetto. He seems to have struck up quite a rapport with the driver of the Broom Wagon, who is seen here giving Dan the thumbs-up for his heroic effort in getting to the line ahead of the day's time cut-off. Watch the video here - "a demain" Dan is heard to say - "see you tomorrow" before he bursts into laughter, despite his obvious tiredness.
Here is another link to some footage from inside the team car where the Fortuneo-Vital Concept DS is encouraging Dan and keeping him informed with critical time checks.
