    Schleck on the biggest bluff mission since Armstrong in 2001?

    Probably not, just can't be bothered more like.

    Sanchez, 10mins down.


    That is an awesome photo (thanks Frenchie) - and ta OCDP for explaining.

    I must say that (bugger chops not withstanding) Wiggo looks phenomenal in his kit. Like a god damn spaceman in that helmet. Love it! And I hope he sticks it to them today - big time. Wiggo no1

    HEAVYWEIGHT.

    Take the initiative, ride the front, lead out the sprint, take out the win. Yeh, he is a pro, ready for the Tour.

    Andy gave up. FEATHERWEIGHT. Zero champion material. Who likes this guy?

    BMC looked really good today. Worked hard as a team and plenty of fresh legs to take out the stage.

    Nice work by Coppel too. He is looking to win GC, inspired by Wiggins.

    If he is trying to piss off JB that is another matter, yet that isnt pro behaviour.

    Vino down is pretty bad. Wants to go to the Tour and put in a great performance, or maybe just some individual ones.

    Congratulations to Evans. It's early doors but it looks like he has prepped well and kept his powder dry until now. I sincerely hope this kick-ass approach is maintained through the TdF. Very Mercx-esque!

    Sounds like the highlights will be worth tuning in for tonight. Been dying for some decent cycling to watch on the new telly!
