    10ks, 2.53 to Wellens.

    Whoever this Aussie on the commentary is needs to learn that less is more. Not to mention changing his accent.

    Would love to see Wellens take this, but if he does it would mean the favourites didn't race.

    Contador said yday his form is 75% of his maximum. Get your bets on him winning in now while he will be undervalued by the bookies. Never write off the proven heavyweights.

    After Harmon or Kirby this guy is actually commentating.
    I'm listening here and he is keeping me completely in touch.
    Those two idiots see a rider they finally recognise and break out about palmares or else keep repeating the overnight GC.
    This fella is so on the ball with the pictures.

    Who is he, please.

    Kiri off the front. No idea why he isnt got the form he had earlier this year where he looked like he could catch a freight train.

    EBH on the front. Pete behind, then Geraint and Porte.

    Rogers cant hold Pete's tempo. This is Rogers who was 2nd last year and doing the Watt setting for Wiggins at the Tour.

    WTF. Seriously WTF.

    Just go, Alberto. He's no use if he's just sitting in the peloton anyway.
