    Yep. 2km from the finish apparently.

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

    :cry:

    Agree with all of you...but that was so predictable no? Hero, but a stupid hero!

    I dunno if Froome is looking so good here....

    Edit - missed the split though....

    Do these guys know what their times are while they're out?

    Froome better lose time on this descent.

    Bike change for Froome. 11 seconds off the pace after bike change. Hmmmm...

    I've just figured it out... Chris Froome's has John McCain's arms on the bike :D:D

    Froome changes bike just before the split, 11s off Contador with that

    clumsy bike change from Froome. Done 50m before the corner and the time check.

    Unorthodox uphill bike change for Froome.

    Looked to me like Froome was going to be inside Contador's time but looked a slightly sloppy bike change - is that going to be worth 11 seconds?

    Cunning trick to stop Saxo getting his time?

    Apologies if it's been asked and answered, but I'm sure when I watched the TT in Annecy a few years back they shuffled the order slightly to make sure riders from the same team didn't follow each other, seemingly not this time. Is that one of those things that just changes without reason or.....?

    Froome would have been up, but changed bikes before thecheck point. Cute move. AC has no comparator time.

    Clunky ike change though.

    I don`t think Contador changed his bike.

    Yes.

    That was a very clever little tactical change from Sky. Saxo-Tinkoff can't give Contador an accurate split. Contador doesn't know if Froome is besting him or not.

    Blimey. Quintana faster than Kwiatkowski.

    Replay of Péraud's crash. Carlton's shriek nearly gave me a heart attack! :shock:
