    YEEEEEEEEEEES

    For a moment I thought that ugly Degenkolb was going to pinch the win. It would suck hugely if Sagan didnt win given his team`s work. Go LIQUIGAS!!!!!!!!!

    My PTP tally thanks you.

    Did Kwiatkowski just outsprint EBH? Some argy bargy with EBH there.

    My Grandma could outsprint EBH and she's been dead 12 years.

    On a more serious note though - Kwiatkowski is becoming quite the rider. He's mixed it up in the sprint a few times and he can climb with some of the best and i'll put him odd's on to win a monument in his career.

    Agree. He's really showing some talent. Although how he dropped out of the top 10 there I don't know. Very weird.

    I'm baffled, I was sure Chava was leading out a chap in a white jersey who looked like he was about 4th. But apparently some chap called Davide Cimolai was 4th and the highest Omerta rider was Chav in 10th.

    Aside - Was listening to the HI podcast today from the TTT and they said Tony martin uses a 58 x 10 in Time trails!

    They had to put bigger gears on everyone else's bikes because after the TTT World Champs they discovered the Tom Boonen could nt keep up without spinning out!!

    Demoted for the argy bargy you mentioned? I've not actually seen the finish so no idea other than that.

    *ignore* official result says he came in fourth.

    It was EBH with the argy bargy.

    Anyway I'm off out for a ride in this glorious sun and to avoid the mother-in-law some more.

    Until tomorrow.

    Sagan came from behind Degenkolb and still put this much space into him. Wow.

    Well done Sky, that was a great sprint effort, being on the front for so much of the day too.

    Ah, hold on a minute.

    What happened to Sky?

    My mistake, force of habit seeing an unhealthily bright green team while watching on mute to avoid Liggett. Great day for Cannondale.

    Dissapointing first week for Cav with his lofty standards, Green gone and just the 1 stage.

    Don't you worry, expect to see them on the lower slopes of the final climb tomorrow.

    I doubt it, after the Col de Pailhères.
