    And there goes Broad.
    My favourite was the one that was LBW when a full toss hit him in the nuts.

    i See Riblon is out the back but earlier I thought he was in the breakaway. Did he go out for the KOM points on the first two climbs?

    I think he just went with the breakaway to see if it he could hold it together for KoM and is now realising just how much effort he put into yesterday.

    He did go over third though to get some good points. Nieve will be on the prowl now though.

    37k to go, I think Rolland will get caught and I'll go with an outside bet of Brice Feillu.

    Whats the final descent like, on the stage profile it looks reeeeaaaaallllllyyyy steep.

    No idea.

    Rolland shaking his calf muscle out on the descent, bit of cramp?
    His ankles look ridiculously skinny.

    True. Worst Aussie collapse since Helen Daniels fell down the stairs in Neighbours.

    Clarke dropped by the gruppetto.

    Looking like Evans may lose this stage by an innings.

    Have we remarked on the fact that there is a Lesser Spotted Lopez at the front of the peloton with only 32km to go. :shock:

    Be nicer with a proper chainset but otherwise a thing of booty.

    Damn you and your quoting before I hit edit.

    I've only got the Guardian OBO so I'm looking forward to wincing at that on Youtube later.

    Do you think Froome will make him follow on?

    PERFECT set up for an attack from distance. I am certainly disappointed.

    Of course this exciting points race could be ruined by the huge number given at HC finishes.... like we have tomorrow.

    Rolland just needs to hold on for this 1st cat and he's looking good for KOM, unless Gripper catches up with him and takes his dinner money off him.

    Movistar mechanics working on Quintana's bike before the start. Apparently, the saddle was set a bit too high yesterday.
