    Gesink not hanging about. Dropped De Greef and Garmin rider. Joined now by an Eukaltel rider.

    Hope Gesink doesn't blow up as usual and loses 5+ mins. Won't keep my hopes up though..

    Blimey FF. You've been busy. Hats off!!

    Just saying whether Pirazzi can stop himself from attacking when it's his turn on the front of the group.
    Can't remember what other race but he sure had ants in his pants. Comedy rider.

    One benefit of neutralising the early stages, the riders are keen to have a crack.

    Would you like some freshly baked cheese scones dripping with butter and a slice of chocolate cake with your tea? Remember, you've been burning calories, you can't afford to loose much more weight.

    And I'll bring a basin of nice hot water with some peppermint oils added so you can soak your feet.

    And a cat? You'll be wanting a cat to cuddle up to whilst you watch the final 25k?

    Handsling from Bonjourno for Di Luca. But Di Luca is already suffering.

    Might see a blizzard at the end as there's a nasty bit of weather heading up the valley from Grenoble. Could be fun!!

    Teach them to fart about, showing off on Mont Cenis, if it does.
    Never been much of a fan of the Galibier.
    It's one long drag.

    Too much head wind going on to do a proper attack it seems.

    Round of applause for Blanco. At least they are trying to liven this up.

    There's a fair number of team sky who have been taking it easier at the back of this group - chance an attack?

    Visconti in to the snow. Makes the riders wish they were in balmy Norway.

    Pozzo' hates bad weather, sat presently at the back.

    Visconti riding very well here. If he holds out that would be super.

    Samu attacked with Caruso on his wheel.
