10 Brits in the Tour de France this year

Would guess that's the highest ever number, though haven't actually seen that confirmed anywhere.

Anyway, certainly a good deal better than the 4 last year, or the *zero* in the Giro earlier this year.

More generally, the Tour could be epic this year. Four genuine contenders - have never seen that before. Get on it, any rothers with a passing interest in bikeracing.
