Due to 4^th of July celebrations, I'll recap stages four and five tomorrow. In the meantime, here are three photos from stage four:

Andre Greipel wins the sprint for the stage; his leadout team celebrates in the background.

Fans along the route often dress up in kooky ways, hoping to catch the helicopter camera's attention as it passes over. I have genuinely no idea what these people are up to.

There are a gajillion versions of this shot.
