    JTL and Briggs just set off one of those flashing "watch your speed" signs on the descent :D

    JTL and Konig away.

    Edmondson attacks from the chase group.

    Don't think that's Basso - it's one of the other Liquigas riders. Still impressive mind.

    I might be taking Porters commentary too literally... I forgot that if he says Basso's in the group, it probably means that someone who once MET Ivan Basso might perhaps be in the group :D:D:D

    JTL and Konig go over together. Edmondson 10 or so back.

    Put your hand down. No glory. Remember that guys name and boo him any race you spectate at.

    Thanks JTL for trying. Not a big gap but doesnt matter.

    Think Ali Slater got into the top group too for the u23 team.

    Konig - "why is this man booing me?"

    Punter - "we got told to because of that time you won a stage by racing sensibly rather than pointlessly helping another rider gain time on his GC rivals at your own expense"

    Simon Yates it was, not Ali Slater.

    Cant wait to watch highlights on that stage again...with the sound down...I missed the point when JTL jumped..

    JTL in gold, decent display from Rowe (who climbs MUCH better than I'd given him credit for - hat tip Rowe), lots of air time for some of my favourite domestic riders, great show from the 2 young GB guys...

    By my estimation that's 3 good stages in a row.

    He's in the Czech team so maybe we just saw a dress rehearsal.

    For someone who spends so much time watching bike racing you really haven't worked out the basics yet, have you?

    Can see where Frenchie's coming from. It's an emotional thing in terms of how you react to a particular rider using those kinds of tactics, especially when the other rider has really made the race. Some dont mind it, others do.
