    Reminiscent of Lorenzo Bernucci's TDF win in Nancy, 2005.

    Don't all those grey buildings look somewhat post-Apocalyptic?

    He seriously needs to shave off that 'tache

    He gets no boners for the tache.

    It's all right the local road engineer will find it's head in their bed later.


    I will stop with the Italian stereotypes now.

    R5 fretting a bit - not spotted Wiggins at all on "results computer", seemed to be flagging in lead in.

    My speculation: has he come down with same thing as Cataldo?

    John Degenkolb went deep to win today.
    "It was a hard finish, especially the last kilometre. It was super fast and then there was the crash. I saw I had a gap and so I had to go full gas for the last 800 metres. I was empty when I hit the line but it's great to win," he said.

    He's German, leave him alone!

    Quigley is starting to get on my t!ts now, really noticing Harmon's absence. He's appalling at identifying riders from other than a close up of their race number, even then you can here the pause before he checks his notes. Sean is starting to pipe up with identifications now, you never hear that with Harmon. And 'Gallopers' rates alongside Kirby's 'End Game' in annoying repetitiveness

    After losing minimal time on two early stages? Bit premature that...

    Nor bosoms if we want to drop the misandry for a stage or two
