    So, the winner is Greipel? OPQS and Argos-Shimano kill themselves in the battle.

    So it urns out that Kittel was in a small 3rd group on the road, yet 3 of his team mates were driving the 2nd group of 40+ as fast as they could back to the peleton of 60+

    That looked like OPQS let them get a little closer then turned on the turbos on a slight incline. Now got Belkin driving too. Kittel chasm - 1min

    Any particular reason we're seeing the gap to "Group Voeckler"? Aside from him being French?

    Henderson is back in the Voeckler group and Roelandts is with Kittel - so that hurts him.

    Because he's the most famous person in that group.

    You'd think with all this modern technology they'd have got the echelon memo yesterday. They're a day behind.

    Or are we psychic?

    There was a KOM point, for that?

    Flags properly blowing up that climb, unless that was the helicopter causing it.

    I brewed up a special batch of my homed made baked beans with rookworst last night, it seems to have done the trick.

    Is there any chance of a cheeky attack on that climb with 10km to go - Bruere-Allechamps - and making it stick? Or is it an exaggeration of scales due to it being a flat stage and nothing really?

    I wondered that, or the ridiculous possibility of OPQS trying to drop Kittel.

    So, I wasn't expecting it this early!
