    Agree, but I like his pronunciation of Joaquim Rodriguez

    ... Whack'em Rodriguez :)

    The commentary is okay, especially bearing in mind he's on his own.

    The Cyclingnews ticker on the other hand is laughable.

    Blimey. Talansky dropped by the bunch.

    Annoying, when trying to watch I just get error loading file on the window.

    Still 6 km to go and it looks like David Veilleux is going for an impressive win.

    Froome does his best Dame Edna imitation. Shocking glasses once again.

    He was growing on me, until he tried claiming that Veilleux was "reducing his resistance to gravity."

    Useful skill for a cyclist.

    Good for Veilleux. Thoroughly deserved that. It'll cheer up the Canadians too, after the Giro

    Anyone know if Talansky got back on?

    Those glasses need to be taken off him by the style police

    Very nice win for Veilleux. Europcar are usually on great form for this race.

    Bit of a damp squib of a stage though.

    Talansky isn't in the first 59, which probably was the main peloton size plus Veilleux.

    Pleased to see Warren Barguil in 13th.

    Edited...

    I think EBH was the last of the peloton across the line, and he's not appeared in the rankings yet. So slim chance still for Talansky. He did not look like he had much left to give today though.

    Garmin already needing to deploy the race-saving Plan B of a stage win attempt then

    That climb did some damage - Gerrans was over 10 mins back

    For a second or two today I thought they were letting Little Pete dance away up the climb. Oh, how my heart raced.

    You might need some beta blockers to get through the week then :)
