Kate Wagner is a classical violinist, artist and architecture critic who discovered professional cycling less than a year ago and has immersed herself in the sport, spending hours watching every grand tour and classic from the past decade.

Having started a blog, which is well worth reading, and after interviewing Primoz Roglic, she set herself the goal of getting to the Tour de France and three weeks ago she found herself in Brest ready to document her first bike race. This is the third instalment of her Tour de France diary.
