    I thought Rodriguez was 2nd on GC, has he retired too? This should have been on Eurosport earlier!

    I think Rodriguez was originally reported in 2nd GC, but that was before the realisation there was no bonus seconds on mountain top finish. I think - someone will correct me if wrong I am sure

    Pretty sure that's the situation. Wiggins is second on placing countback.

    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    What an awful thing to say. Some twisted people on this forum.

    obviously too young to recognise the work of one Basil Fawlty esq.
    you are right about twisted people though

    Drinking game. Sip of beer every time Carlton Kirby says "playing the long game".

    That's the only rule.

    This has all the signs of a J-Rod sprint finish with 4km left and the leaders all coming back together - sky's pace is hurting some though

    Have the leaders just passed over Port De Canto?

    I'm getting updates via google translate and I think something is getting lost in translation as a while ago they were (allegedly) at Sort which is ahead of where they should be according to the route profile.

    Don't worry I thought it was odd for the live feed to be so late on - then heard Carlton repeating the car gears story & knew it was yesterdays stage

    Roche is looking strong, blowing but out of the saddle and climbing smooth

    6 riders behind chasing to bridge the gap to him though so he won't be out alone for too long
