tour de france stage 5

After Tuesday's team time trial, the stage today is another relatively flat, long slog in the summer heat of the Mediterranean Coast, Le Cap d'Agde to Perpignan, 196.5 km. From the website:
The stage is dedicated to Salvador Dali, who called the Perpignan railway station the "cosmogonic centre of the universe". The icon of surrealism, who was touched by a form of fascination for the spectacle of cycling, created the 1959 Tour's postcard. If his influence inspires the pack in the Corbières or along the seaside, anything will be possible.
