    The Tour has a lot to learn from the Giro and Vuelta.

    Carnage-Love it :D Great kick by Anton. J-Rod just didn't have the legs-bet Karpets et al will be well chuffed (in about 30mins time when they roll in with the sprinters!)

    That was so eye-poppingly steep, Phil Gil's glasses shot off his head.

    No..........I meant it. First time I've seen guys sprinting up a 25% ramp!
    Proper racing. Much better than we have had..........since May.

    they are starting to cope with the super steep stuff


    also its producing a new type of specialist.

    Great spectacle, good effort by Anton. Such super steep finished used to be the preserve of Fleche Wallone (Huy - 26%), but increasingly common in Spain and Italy. Hopefully soon at the Tour de France too!

    Really good stage!

    Next weekend more hilly routes

    Frank, Mosquera and Menchov are at a disadventaje whit the bonifications, Anton, Rodriguez and Nibali could bonus in many stages.
