    Should have added Catalans to the list.

    Was that the stripey flag with the donkey?

    Any of the combinations of the yellow and red stripey flags are Catalan. The one with the donkey are Catalan fans of Pedro Delgado :wink:

    The red flags with the yellow cross are Cathar/Pays D'Oc flags.

    That was nice from Quintana - "just sit on" as he passes the last of the breakaway. Class.

    I would not like to have to play poker with Kiryenka. The man's face never moves.

    The last half an hour has already been more interesting than the entire 2012 Tour.

    Can Quintana descend? If so They can't let this open up more than 2 mins surely?

    Sky and Saxo trains now

    Oh sorry, it's not a train if it's another team is it, it's tactical brilliance...

    Got Quintana at 28/1 before the race, only a fiver each way unfortunately.

    Just tried to put some more on as he was 33/1 this morning. As soon as he struck he went to 9/1, then to 7/1 and now betting suspended.

    F*ck, what a performance!

    Fat man in an Euskaltel jersey. That counts as a mad Basque.

    Yup... as far as I recall, none of the climbs last year was as steep as this one.

    Is there a danger of Sky cooking their team before the final climb ? Kennaugh doing his "Marginal Gains" turn here....the same guy who couldnt hold the pace on the climbs in the national RR ?

    Now that's some snow at the side of the road Carlton. And you're not heading towards the Spanish border, you're running parallel with it and it's about 20k to the south. Ooo this is getting my inner geography pedant.
