    Yeh, that's the only video footage available I think. Does anyone know where you can find text updates for today's stage?

    Good result for PK. I've seen a lot of people hyping him up over the last couple of years and have been worried that he's had too much pressure heaped on him too early. Sky do seem to be doing a good job of gradually progressing his career and it's nice to see him starting to show something at this level.

    Wow, great ride by Kennaugh. I've said all along he could be the GC contender but I have to admit I am suprised how well he did on that mountain stage as he hasn't shown a huge amount of form in the mountains until now (albeit with limited chances). I know others have done well in the GTs in their early 20s but I hope he is given a chance to be brought on slowly.
