    Ave des Brandes: Stage 1: 41.16, Stage 2 (39.30 Quintana, 40.30 Froome)
    ADH: Quintana 39.45, Froome: 40.50

    Pretty quick but 4 minutes slower than Pantani.

    That's irrelevant! What about the VO2 max man?!?

    too right, instead of having an interviwe with the heroic stage winner, lets go to the studio with a bald idiot and the most boring voice in cycling.

    Only 47 seconds separates 2nd from 5th place. without Froome, this TDF would be up in the air!

    Movistar and Katusha are going to look to hammer Contador in the next 2 days. Contador is on his back side here.

    Fantastic that the first three led pretty much from the first few KM to the very end.

    Throw him out for snaffling some gels and you'll have an amazing next 2 days.

    Valverde in 8th.

    Out by 2, Nieve came in 9th not 7th like I predicted. pooh - rubbish stage cos of that

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    I'm not sure you're deadly serious here but a couple of gels vs a car? really?

    That's about as likely as them throwing Cav out for shouldering that bloke off his bike, earlier.

    Part of me agrees. Very very dodgy stuff from Sky today. Muchos disappointed.

    No, give him a 5 minute penalty and there will be less than a minute between 1st and 5th!
