    Moron sat on the apex of the bend there...

    Cyclingnews:
    Almost all the major GC players are in the Wiggins group back down the road. Menchov is the only exception and he has fallen off the back

    How long has Rogers been on the front now? Still Porte & Froome with Wiggins for this final climb.

    Will the break get caught? I'm guessing yes unless everyone meekly follow Sky up the mountain.

    With Cadel's dud attack on the last uphill, I wonder what his legs are thinking now?? :/

    Playing into sky's hands here, sky will leave rodgers there until someone attacks then Porte will help, they should try to attack to get rid of sky's guys, the longer it goes the harder it will be and less time gained, ah Rodgers gone :D good work.

    By the time anyone gets round to attacking, Sivtsov's leg will have healed, so he'll be able to chase.

    Yup.

    I'm not exactly bowled over by the quality of the action today.

    The tour needs to double the teams and half the riders on them.

    5 each. Job done.
