"Corsica non avrai mai bene." Old Napoleon is supposed to have said this as the ship carrying him to Elba passed the island of his birth. Did he still use Italian, or Corsu, at this time in his life? I doubt it. I wonder who was there to hear his utterance.
Bene or male (Don't Corsicans say bè?) the island is going to be in the news at the weekend.
Cavendish for the first yellow jersey - of the competition and of Cavendish - sprint finish. That's the plan. "Vedremo che vedremo", as, I'm sure, Napoleon never said.
