    Should Cav be DQd for briefly riding without a helmet ;)

    It's a flat, short stage - have a guess and I'll tell you if you're close :lol:

    I'm going to turn it on with 5 minutes left to see if Cav wins me some PTP points.

    By the end of the day that will have become "he beat the cameraman to the ground and spat on his bleeding body".

    Just over 30km left, break with just over a minute, bunch trying to leave the catch a bit longer ready for the sprint finish (straight line sprint apparently!).

    Cav going for intermediate sprint points. Not what you'd expect from someone planning on not making it to the end.

    A perfect siesta stage, today. Out like a light for 35kms and missed nothing.

    GTs are SO much better when you don't have a job.

    Frank Schleck's got his big grumpy head on today. He looks like he's just found a turd in his musette. (Probably alex Rasmussens)

    Average speed 38kph for 100km - hopefully the pace will go up once the catch is made or the sprint will be carnage!

    A couple of pimples to climb before a very slightly uphill drag to the finish.

    Clement gives a head shake after catching Keizer who attacked for an extra 100m before the catch :lol:

    Interesting that Sky are content to let Greenedge do the work, they aren't even grouped together that much behind.

    Bit hillier than expected here? Bos is probably in the bus already.

    Put Greenedge and Sky under a bit of pressure when a few riders pushed it on.
