The damage is still visible to this day.Baguette and butter: World champion Peter Sagan of Slovakia made the most of a steep and short climb in a frenzied finale to win the 183-kilometer (114-mile) leg to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin and claim the overall leaders yellow jersey.Plat du jour: Dont miss the oysters of St-Vaast-La-Hougue, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) east of Cherbourg. A true gourmet delicacy, this shellfish is famous for its generous meat, golden-yellow color and sour notes.Culture: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Les parapluies de Cherbourg was the original title) was a 1964 hit film and musical starring Catherine Deneuve.Vin du jour: Normandy is not really a wine-making region but there are still plenty of good things to drink. A traditional beverage in the area, Poire (pronounced puah-REY) is a refined cousin of the local apple cider. Made from pears, it has a pale yellow color, refreshing acidity and a low alcohol content making it an ideal summer drink.History: Fought after the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944, the month-long Battle of Cherbourg allowed the Allies to establish a key port. Located directly across the channel from Britain, Cherbourg was also claimed by the English at times in the Middle Ages.Stat of the Day: Five. Five future winners of the Tour have won a stage in Cherbourg: Gustave Garrigou, Henri Pelissier, Ottavio Bottecchia, Philippe Thys and Andre Leduck -- all before World War II.Quote of the Day: I didnt know I won the stage because I thought there were two riders in front. Sagan on why he didnt celebrate.Dessert: Confiture de pomme et canelle, a delightly spiced apple-cinnamon spread.Next order: Starting in Granville, Frances leading shellfish port, Stage 3 Monday moves out of the Normandy region over a southeasterly 223.5-kilometer (139-mile) route that concludes in Angers, in the Pays de la Loire region. The mostly flat leg should set up well for sprinters, meaning Sagan should be able to hold onto the yellow jersey.Byron Murphy Jersey .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras.

Heres who hes selecting...Paul Mersons XI: Juan Mata, David de Gea, Jonas Olsson, Ander Herrera, Marcus Rashford, Memphis DepayMerse says: Ive got to have Mata as he makes things happen, so hell create plenty of chances, while David de Gea is the best in the business for me and has 11 clean sheets despite playing in front of a makeshift defence for most of the season.Olsson goes in there for me because you know West Brom will have been working on their set-pieces. Hes a massive threat with Craig Gardners delivery and I dont really see anyone else other than him, Gardner or Berahino scoring.My other three are Rashford, who will find it tough but I cant risk not having him in, a man that is going to be a good footballer and is turning the corner in Depay and then Herrera, who obviously also scored against Arsenal and seems to find himself in the right place and the right time.
