    Bertie took a time bonus for crossing a sprint in 3'rd place. He reckons the final climb isn't that hard but the ride before it will make it tough.

    Astana have reduced the gap to 4 minutes

    Glad I signed up. Otherwise, I'd just have to watch it for longer on France 2. :P

    If it was live on ES, I'd watch CI, but yeah, I'll probably watch E3 now.

    Corsica is one of my fav places. Indescribable beauty, in parts. Beaches to die for.

    Good ride by Evans. And I think I said the rS guy would do well yesterday

    Perhaps Contador and Armstrong were too busy marking each other ......

    Lance would;ve been doing long distance marking as he spent most of the time towards the back

    Was obvious early on the climb LA wasn't gonna be in the mix but Bertie was in prime position with 4K to go, no wonder he didn't want to go to Catalunya.

    Good rides by Martin and Millar, only losing 9 seconds to the Evans group. Millar should pick off quite a few of the people ahead of him in the TT tomorrow - i think his goal was top 5 and he may achieve that.

    Yep good ride too by Machedo and i see has been Portugese TT champ so maybe he can put in a good TT tomorrow.

    Temptation got the better of me. Interesting result to say the least. Fedrigo? From a breakaway or did he straight-up outclimb everyone?

    Was in lead group with 3k to go and he chased an attack by Machedo of RS passed him and held on to the end.

    Even with four "team mates" pushing.
    He's way behind and carrying too much weight.
