    Not a big fan of TV Tommy but if those 4 stay away I hope he gets the stage, has anyone else taken a turn since the big climb?

    Good slip by VDB, Sky will be less concerned, in fact better for them if he gains as it will make lotto and bmc work more in future stages

    Come off it Harmon, nearly 5 and a half minutes down VDB is hardly a threat making 10 seconds on a descent is he? I guess he's got to make the race sound interesting but still. When the opposition are attacking on the last 100m of a hill and the descent you know they are clutching at straws.

    Can Jens bridge the 19secs to the front and nick the stage?

    I love JV, but unless he goes early he's most likely to just end up leading out LLS for the win

    Weird how Voeckler gets loads of flak for being a limelight hogger when Jens Voigt is... well... Jens Voigt.

    Voeckler has carved out his niche as the Jacky Durand of the "live from 1400" era to perfection.

    So will Tommy V keep Pois and knock Pinot back into wine cellar as he regains housewives' favourite?

    I hate to come over all Frenchie but It will be a travesty if JV or TV don't win this

    What, and Voigt hasn't? They're exactly the same.

    So DD it is. The cleverest not the hardest working to win.
