    Who is the sky staff member next to Rich Hall warming down? Is it like when the Tories sent Chloe Smith on newsnight as a sacrificial lamb.

    Valverde is the Louie Spence of the peloton

    Surely, Cobo is the Louis Spence of the peloton - they look identical.

    As former team-mate and (no doubt now former) mate of Piti's, probably the best sacrificial lamb for that particular task

    Interesting, perhaps this is where Alejandro has got his flamboyant hand on hip stance from. Or actually maybe its not about the crash at all, Piti is just annoyed that Mr Portal wont lend him his belt to accessorise the leader's jersey.

    Is that a union jack watch VAlverde is wearing?

    Ullrich speaks:

    “Sky had set up the echelon action well, and the attack had been started, when Valverde crashed. But I would have expected that after a few kilometers the command to wait would come across on the radio,” he wrote.

    "It is hard to judge the matter when one was not present," he said. “Personally, I would have slowed, since it was a situation which wouldn't really have helped me –I want to measure myself against my opponents and not profit from their bad luck.”

    Good stuff from Der Kaiser.
