    Tough, tough stage, like an Ardennes classic.
    Skating rink to finish on, with that hairpin bend.
    Bauke Mollema did what Martin did, yesterday.
    He should take the GC tomorrow, although Bole still has an outside chance.

    yeah but he went all heroic on home turf and dropped a place on GC..

    still hats off to the guy for giving it a go

    On the second hill with a maximum grade of 22 percent some riders had to get off and walk their bikes.

    Blimey!

    Hoogerland secured the title of the King of the Mountains as he was the first man to the top on three out of the six climbs

    So this Bole chap.. The new Eddy Merckx/Sean Kelly? 2nd after a few laps of 22% and a pretty handy sprinter.

    How old is he? Given he's Lampre, was he done for Oil for Drugs or dodgy doctor?

    Looks like the ground was pretty slippery at the finish. Mollema raises his arms to celebrate then immediately puts them down, Bole crashes and others wobble.

    Anyone notice the unusual commentating today?

    Watched the highlights and the commentary was almost entirely done from the perspective of Dan Martin. How does this move affect Martin etc etc.

    Unusual for Harmon.



    Watching this does remind me think the Tour was mad for not letting Vaconsolei in.
