There's huge excitement on Corsica - and indeed around the world - as the island prepares to host the Grand Depart of the 100th edition of the Tour de France tomorrow, and one man who's ridden the race, Dan Lloyd, is clearly swept up in it, his enthusiasm shining through this fact-packed Week 1 Preview video from IG Cycling where the principal focus are on the British riders who hope to be in the maillot jaune at the start and finish of the race.
Those men of course are new British champion Mark Cavendish, whose aiming to win tomorrow's opening stage, and Chris Froome, the big favourite to move a step higher on the podium from last year's runner-up spot to succeed Sir Bradley Wiggins as winner of cycling's biggest race.
Meanwhile, GCN, where Lloyd is lead presenter, have produced flythrough stage route videos - here are the ones for the opening three days on Corsica. Now that teams have had a chance to properly recce the route, the word coming back from the Mediterranean island is that Stage 2 and Stage 3, which looked tough enough on paper, are likely to prove much harder to race and even this early on could prove influential in determining who will battle it out for the maillot jaune.
