    Ooh, Rafael Valls. I was tipping that guy for stardom at the start of the season, then he did sod all for the next 6 months.

    We have a bike race!

    Apart from the riders shutting down stage 2, it's been a good race so far. Genuine uncertainty about how thw race will unfold.
    How close is G to green? If he doesn't get yellow he could get green soon.

    Nope. Canc is done. With Martin and Pauwels.
    Astana all over the front.
    Where are the pensioners?

    First sighting of the chalkbot. Can't read any of 'em. Money well spent.
  • Little bit lost on ITV here - is Gez attacking or saving himself for the last climb?

    He's still in the main group with the GC riders.

    Yikes, Hondo's descending is quite impressive to watch. Scary, but impressive.

    I really like the contador specialized app where he rides up again and again, marking it on the road, but isn't it Uno mas not una mas?

    Chavanel is virtual yellow jersey but he's hauling back Pineau.

    We have our Shack new tactic revealed.
    Attack on the descent, very slowly.
    Peloton losing touch.

    Pineau and Chavanel double tap.

    Steady as she goes for GC contenders.

    Cunego carrying PTP hopes for some. Not me!

    What a decent and now powering the bunch by Hincapie - That was a HEAVY copy of the Wall Street Journal he was handed for the descent .

    Spoke too soon. Pineau is cooked, as they say in cycling terms.
