    This problem of Ten Dam has been there for years. Its just that he's so high up on GC that his problem is getting more "air time"

    Oh look Contador is 20 seconds up on Froome. Where does that leave us on the doping equation I wonder...?

    Multiple choice:

    a. Steak at the hotel last night
    b. Froome coasting so as not to arouse suspicion
    Trail fun - Transition Bandit
    Road - Wilier Izoard Centaur/Cube Agree C62 Disc
    Allround - Cotic Solaris

    Everyone expects it from dirty bertie so don't seem to be bothered by him being quick.

    I'm not suggesting either of those things. Froome could just be knackered after the other day.

    If it was the other way around I can imagine what everyone would say, and I can also imagine a lot of people will plump for option b even though it's clearly ridiculous.

    If you are the rider following Ten Dam you have to be careful on some of the bends as you could slip on his spit and drool.

    Fuglsang would've had a better time if he didnt wait 45 seconds for his bike change #fail.

    Yep. 2km from the finish apparently.

    Jean-Christophe Peraud serait tombé à 2 km de l'arrivée ! #TDF

    oooh I like that contrast shot showing Froome locked into his TT position vs. Bertie out of the saddle.

    Peraud abandoned - where's the "crying" emoticon when you need it? Still reckon Froome will win this...

    Gutted...

    Jean-Christophe Péraud abandons the race after crashing with 2km to go. No combativity prize as it's a TT but he deserves a special one

    If Valverde was still in this then the podium fight would have been amazing.

    Mollema's nose off-sets the tail of his helmet.
