    Contador let up. Dangling off the back for Rogers. Emotions off the hook now.

    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.
    Rogers is having a bad day. They're not machines you know.

    If Contador can pull Rogers to the front that will be the best thing that happened all race.

    Deux vitesse.

    Lol. Froome asking Porte for instructions while he has got a 100m gap without breathing.

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

    So how many teams is that now who will ride against Sky in the Tour at any excuse. Probably more than half. I hope they get humiliated.

    Bizarre tactics from Saxo today. Been a race of weird tactics from a few teams.

    Go Talansky. Had form so it seems. Shame he was badly ill at the start.

    Brilliant win for De Marchi. Chapeau.

    Didn't see the stage. What did Sky do to upset you today?




    Had Contador for the win......didn't think he would through it away to get a mediocre team mate on the podium #FAIL

    Yep.

    Do you know how many points they get for a win? And what the differential in points is for Roger's 3rd place to where he is now in the standings?

    How was it bizarre? It made complety sense. That's UCI ranking for you.
