What a superb ride by Contador in the last 8k. Genuinely impressive! Accelerating away from the chasers all the way.

Brilliant ride by Wiggo too! Surely a contender for a place on the podium in Paris now?

And gotta say it, but a terrific performance from LA too. We may not like him that much, and maybe he doesn't have the legs that he had 4 years ago, but nevertheless an impressive ride.

    Finally - a stage worthy of the GC's attention!

    Alberto was amazing as usual - such acceleration. Bravo.

    And well done to BW - stunning. We can be pround of him, and DM, who never stops working!
    .. who said that, internet forum people ?

    Gutted Andy couldn't keep up with him, at least he gets the white jersey. Think that might be Sexy banks aim from now on. They haven't controlled the peloton as much.

    Yes, gutted myself for AS - let's hope with some harder mountain stages, Andy gets another crack.
