    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.

    Count out Sivtstivistov, Cav and Eisel, they're already down to 6... with the same result.

    Hasnt he been a fairly decent GC rider in the past?

    Certainly was... back in the good ol' T-Mobile/ Telekom days!

    Think Kiryenka will attack with about 5k to go, fancy Rolland to win hes been strong all day.
    Think Evans may try and may blow VDB looks cool, hope froome has a dig if close to the top and all together otherwise he will stay and tow wiggo

    OK 3 each then.

    Wait - national teams!

    It was hardly Pantani-esque though was it? All he did was ride at the same pace as the breakaway, the time gap barely changed.

    So I picked Kiryienka for the stage... YESTERDAY, and it turns out my missus has a bit of thing for him ("as a rider!", she protests...).
    I'm starting to think he's a tosspot.

    and UKPS put down 7 w/kg to chase the break down straight away. Oops, no - they just carry on at the same steady pace my mistake.

    What are RSNT doing- 4 riders in the front group why not have a go. Useless

    Ha Brackovich attacked so was obvious VDB would go, silly really with your team mate up the road, maybe astana dont have faith in kisowhatsisname. Sky will still ride tempo they wont loose 4 minutes and will go faster at top anyway when cuddles attacks, I like pinot good rider, good tactically also, NIbs will have to chase soon

    Down to just Froome and Wiggins with a long way to go. Porte didn't seem so strong today.
