    30km to go, only one third cat climb left (plus the intermediate sprint) break @ 2'25"

    Peloton in 2. :P

    Not quite a repeat of stage 2, but still, I should definitely get a job as DS on the back of this.

    Back together again. Spoke too soon. Damn my impulsive nature.

    Anyone else struggling with the TV links? I don't whether the IT police have caught up with me or the links are struggling.

    Wow, Saxo Bank's jersey is very blue this year.

    (Says a lot about their season that I'm noticing this halfway through March.)

    They should send the finish up to the castle - that would be an interesting finish.

    VOigt, Sanchez, and the AG2R guy make it over the top together, the rest behind.

    De Weert takes it up on the front of the peloton for QS and shells a few more sickly riders out the back.

    That'll be a slightly interesting descent for the main peleton

    Indeed. Boonen in 5th position in the peloton :).

    Voigt turning the heat up after the decent. LLS licking everyone's plate clean.

    You'd have thought Jens would've learned some tactics in all the years he's raced, wouldn't you?

    LLS must barely be able to believe his luck.

    Break will stay away. S'not like Jen's to stop pedalling and play silly buggers.

    Rabo make up for an otherwise appalling Paris Nice.

    Well it seems to me like Voigt has done most of the work, so yeah

    Jens, taking it up again when he doesn't need to.

    Should be doing nothing untill the sprint really.

    Dammit Jens, you would have thought he'd have learned some tactics in his 60 years!
