    Geraint has to be the hot favourite to take the GC now too. I think it would be his first pro win* since he was a stagiaire at Saunier Duval.

    GC with a TT and what seems like a sprint stage to come:


    1 Michael Albasini (Swi) HTC-Highroad 14:58:17
    2 Geraint Thomas (GBr) Sky Procycling 0:07
    3 Wesley Sulzberger (Aus) FDJ
    4 Johannes Fröhlinger (Ger) Skil - Shimano 0:12
    5 Andreas Klier (Ger) Team Garmin-Cervelo
    6 Nicki Sörensen (Den) Saxo Bank Sungard
    7 Blel Kadri (Fra) AG2R La Mondiale 0:13
    8 Pieter Serry (Bel) Topsport Vlaanderen - Mercator
    9 Thibaut Pinot (Fra) FDJ 0:16
    10 David Loosli (Swi) Lampre - ISD 1:21
    11 Dirk Müller (Ger) Nutrixxion Sparkasse 2:43
    12 Edvald Boasson Hagen (Nor) Sky Procycling 5:17

    Wiggo wins a race! GT also moves into the overall by 19 seconds, sounds like a great day for sky as EBH also in points jersey.
    It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

    Wiggo did great ride in TT and G looks like he will get overall.
    Wiggo looks pretty fit in the photo.

    Great to see the Cardiff's finest on the cusp of a decent win. He deserves it. Hopefully the prize money will cover a decent haircut.
    Hell of a performance by the Paul Weller tribute act, too

    Yes it would be fantastic to see G get a long overdue and thoroughly deserved pro win. Now there is a rider that deserves praise.

    Giacomo Nizzolo won the last stage of the Bayern Rundfahrt. The 22-year-old new professional Leopard Trek knew after a stage of 162.1 kilometers from Friedberg to Moosburg his first professional victory to reach the bunch sprint to win the German John Degenkolb (HTC - High Road) and the Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Sky)


    The Briton Geraint Thomas (Sky Team) took the overall victory.

    EBH took the points jersey too. Fair play to Sky; the kind of race they should sew up I suppose but only a team of 5 for 3 of the 5 etapes
