    Paul reckons Andy will lead Frank out for sprint, because 'Frank is lower down on GC'.

    WTF?

    Is it just me or shouldn't Frank be riding himself into the ground to protect Andy here for tomorrow's TT?

    The less dangerous Schleck will win.

    Amazing ride by Nibali -- the only rider of the contenders with no helper (if you ignore Contador).

    Very cool by Andy to give it to Frank. Frank has worked for him this entire TDF.

    What a stage. Feel sorry for Wiggo, the adventure lives on but hopes for the podium are slipping away. We'll see how the TT goes.

    Wiggins is going to have an amazing TT to get in the top three at the end of the day tomorrow. Plus we can all see what is going to happen on the ventoux.

    I just assumed that Wiggins abandoned the tour on top of last mountain. No time gaps given. He wasn't even mentioned.

    Sarkozy looks like something that lives under a bridge.

    Will Carla be a podium girl today?

    Wiggo did really well to come back as close as he did to Armstrong
