    Why does Carlton keep referring to the Sky jerseys as dark blue?

    Woah, dodgy corner there with a massive wall in the middle of the road.

    I'm with the chuckle brothers today thanks to the goats link. Tell you what, I take back everything I ever said about Kirby!

    How did the split between Cav's group and Sagan's group happen?

    I think he might be. (Kristoff in the group that is)

    Right, he's my tip then. In my mind he's the new Freire.

    Regrouping.... Ooooopps for Cannondale.

    On the Cat 2 climb. Peloton went to pieces. Later regrouped into the two main groups as the sprinters teams tried to organise a chase back on.

    Cannondale ramped up the speed going uphill and the others fell off the back after a few kms. Cannondale didn't let up and steamed away.

    I had to resort to them yesterday and I had to hit the mute button.

    What about the three riders up front? Surely they got the 1,2,3 placings at the intermediate sprint?

    They went up the road after the int. sprint.

    Ah ha, that would explain it; thanks!

    Cat 2 climb had some steep sections. IIRC several short ramps of 12% were mentioned

    Great work Cannondale. Looks to me that Sagan will be buying them all a nice present after the Tour if they continue on like this. #Racers

    was that 60kph into a headwind?

    Looked like a headwind from the way the 10k banner was billowing.

    All credit to the 3 man breakaway keeping away from Cannondale at 63kms/hr = mighty aggressive riding.

    Is Kirby suggesting little Pete Kennaugh for a sprint? Really? I must have misheard.

    Oh look Sainte-Cécile cathedral, the world's largest brick building.

    My bad, I thought it was Greipel. Probably Henderson then.

    Greipel has his German champs jersey on, easier to pick him out with that

    That's why I thought it was him to be honest, seemed to be wearing a white jersey.

    Cannondale has been fantastic today. It simply doesn't get any better.
