    What a last 2k and that save from Remy!! Martin looking good and has Wiggo jumped over Kloden?

    That was getting a bit wacky race there...but great win for Di Gregorio!

    Was that Kloden dropped from the front group (Harmon said it was)?

    I'm surprised Di Gregorio didn't need to change his shorts before he spoke to the press... :wink:

    6hrs of some tough racing. This sport puts all others under the table. Very happy the win went to the rider who put it on the line, some sweet cornering in those conditions. Nice one to Kroon too, the last time I remember that name was when he had blood streaming down his face.

    Wiggins lost a couple of seconds to Kloden, other than that no real changes in GC

    That was magnificent. I wasn't watching when it showed the Astana rider. I'll do my best to avoid it.

    Any good sites showing highlights of Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico?

    Taaramae doing really well. Martin very strong. Glad Wiggins came here to race, nice work.

    That save was as good as this one by Contador if at slower speeds.

    Update.
    Apparently, Kiserlovski finished the race 20 minutes behind !
    Since he was inside 3kms, they gave him @ 37".
    Chapeau, that man. French tv already had him in hospital. :oops:
    Phew!

    I thought it was a far harder save. He fishtailed both ways in the wet and still stayed up.

    I'd have been splatted all over the road.

    Personally I'd have been in the voiture balai about 4 hours earlier :lol:

    Great stage, I would have enjoyed it more if Di Gregario was still with FDJ though.
