    That Offredo one looked sore. I think the technical term is "pratfall".

    Other teams taking it to Radioshack, good to see.

    Pleased to see young Clément Koretzky in the break.

    Greipel attacking off the front of the Peleton, break has about a minute...

    Twitter saying stannard and devolder have been distanced, but no confirmation on that

    Stannard was off the back earlier due to a puncture.

    Sky have tweeted that he's back in the main Peleton :D

    It's only when you see Greipel just cycling along you realise how massive he is, not as noticeable in a sprint!

    Stupid phone posting. I'm 6'2 riding a 54cm frame and a 140mm stem. I wanted a longer one.

    It was a Blanco rider I think.

    Think it was a blanco guy. Greipel has been reeled in and the gap to the break is tumbling as the Peleton gets animated towards arenberg

    Ure torso is longer than your legs.... apparently, in a very important survey a few years back, women were given pictures of men with different leg/torso ratios and the vast majority of women felt more attracted to the men with equal leg/torso size or longer torso when compared to men with longer legs... Im not kidding!!! Wish I had a link.

    BTW, I'm 5'11 also ride a 54cm and a 140mm :D

    He failed in his mission as he didn't take Cancellara down with him.
