    Hard old day. OPQS putting on some good hurt at the moment.

    The bunch just over a minute behind with 25 km to go. It's up and down, and OPQS is doing all it can to shed the likes of Hushovd, Bouhanni, etc, who are constantly just about on and off the back

    Hushovd dropped.

    "Hushovd's been real value for BMC since signing"...

    Unless they happened to be Hushovd's accountant and their fee was a percentage of his salary. :wink:

    Bouhanni dropped too.

    They're not that far off, and there's still a loooong downhill to com. Could also make it difficult for OPQS to close that 1 minute gap on the break

    Bouhanni is approaching Cav levels of camera time while off the back of the peloton.

    Might come down to whether Sky want to help chase for EBH.

    Anyone remember the time they said Tony Martin was leaving HTC to stop being in the lead out train and concentrate on being a GC rider.....

    Chavanel and Martin have sat up. Must have really blown their pumps. Meersman with few helpers.

    Voeckler going for glory. Gap has expanded slightly.

    OPQS tactics on sprint stages have been a bit of a shambles this race.

    Real time question:

    Should Sky bring back the break?

    Looks like they're trying, all lined out again after bunching up briefly...

    They shouldn't use up effort that they'll need tomorrow imo. Not after such a hard day yesterday.

    Agree. Out of the blocks and straight up the Alpe tomorrow, after all

    Yes , but was trying to capture the moral debate of yesterday, as in Froome taking the stage.

    Thomas De Gendt now rides for Sky apparently.

    Tonguey Voeckler to go through the full Lazarus routine.
