    Go on JTL. I can't see him going the distance but still.

    Is it me or does Wiggins look like he's put a bit of timber on?

    JTL looking good-surely he'll blow up before the finish?

    Yep

    That was seriously cool the way he followed Bertie though!

    Millar: "there's the future president of Kazahkstan". (Vino, wearing an 'Aeronauticaire Militaire' cap)

    Afx, i just noticed someone in earlier pages said Breschel, then someone else said 'good call'.

    Swifty also riding close to the front up the Cauberg. All going well for GB at the moment. Their leader off the front with a teammate and no need to ride, and their best climbing sprinter riding well in the peloton.

    Quick summary, is this right?

    JTL and Cummings in the break, Cav, Wiggo, Froome and Dowsett playing spoof with Duvel, Swifty in the peleton. anyone missing?

    Now you see why I'm not in contention for the 2012 PTP title.

    I thought Stannard had been removed and nationalised by the Dutch Railway Service?

    What's the story with jtl and not wearing sunglasses? Does he not like them? If its sponsorship - I would have thought that he could have worn Endura glasses?

    52 seconds for the peloton, but very disorganised chase.

    Think he was holding it in tbh.

    Not enough head bobbing.

    Very interesting.

    Shaping up for a good one.
