    Bertie looks like he's chewing his handlebars, then again he looks like that a lot and it does't mean a thing
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Nibali is pure class. Attacking over the top and on the descent.

    JROD pain face

    Sagan hanging on for dear life
    Contador is the Greatest
  • Every man for himself! Froome, Evans, Contador, Nibs all alone.

    Sagan is just a monster.. how can he win a sprint against Cav and Greipel.. and then be there for this finish today?!?

    defies all logic!

    Interesting sprint coming up. Nibs could do with the win but...

    EVANS single handedly nearly pulled the four back

    43 secs to them then 47 to the rest

    Completely agree with Maggie about Sagan....
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
