    Real racing from the boys out front. Just their talent against the next man.

    sky riding tempo on the front of the peloton looking comfortable & in control
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Brian Smith saying that there were bonus seconds yesterday. I'm confused.

    Edit: He's just now stated the opposite.

    Really hope this money fueled train wont curb the pure racing efforts of the riders out front and drop the King driver off with 1km to go.

    Gesink and VDB (respect for their continual attacking throughout the years) attack from 11kms out. Real riders.

    Looking good for J Rod this. 4 Katusha being led up by the 2 remaining Sky riders.

    I want Dan Martin to take it though- mainly as I got him at 28-1 for the stage this morning.

    Hey Frenchie

    I'm beginning to think you aren't too keen on Sky

    Am I right?
