    Did G change bikes after his accidents on the previous descent? Will we see a repeat on the Tourmalet descent?

    S'not that difficult to decend the Tourmalet, either side.

    That bit in the town where Thomas dropped the guys is probably the steepest bit on this side.

    The issue was with the new road surface not the bike.

    Fairly technical for the first 3 or 4k then straight and fast, he'll be fine.

    Kreuz struggling. Rule 1: Don't do the Giro and Tour unless you're Bertie.

    Lots of last minute drop offs, who should get back on..........before getting dropped again.
    Kloden has had it, though.
