    And at the start of this Stage I was thinking what an amazing Vuelta Movistar were having.

    Navarro gone. Bad news for Bertie/Froome. Still a long way to go and not too steep, with a large chasing group

    They seem to have lost Navarro. Shame.

    Too much wind. Bertie and Froome letting Roche go

    Valverde gone pop. Guess Movistar will be better behaved in future

    5km to go for the remaining escapados. Navarro's been replaced by Cofidis guy

    Mate?

    Very disappointing stage. Great win for Clarke though.

    Yeah, it was fun.

    Thank you for letting me join in, guys.

    Coupla questions then have to get back to work:

    Why do big names truce/sit up/back off like that? I guess to save energy for another day.

    What must it be like still riding for RadioShack? Horrible?

    What more did you expect to happen on a climb like that? This was about as action packed as a 4th stage of a GT gets I'd say

    As expected - this hill wasn't hard enough.

    Okay stage nonetheless.

    Really?

    A group of 20 coming in together is not a good mountain stage. Katusha did the Sky train tactic but forgot to put people into difficulty.

    The echelons were the only exciting thing that happened, and even they put nobody important in trouble outside of the crash.

    Enjoyed that a lot - despite work making good efforts to ruin it.

    And turfle is being sarcastic.

    I'm not being sarcastic at all. Nothing happened apart from a crash.

    What DID happen that I missed?

    He's not, he just suffers from selective vision and as a certain Spaniard didn't really do a lot it was a dull stage.
