    Imagine Carlton Kirby, Mike Smith, and that total bore Alex Dowsett all in the commentary booth ?

    Get Dan Lloyd, Big Maggy and Kelly or next year plz eurosport if Harmon's not back.
    Is it really such a big deal who is in the commentary box ?.....never understood why folk get so het up about it.

    Oh hello there Moray hows it gaun ? - Well Mr Kirby is not a cycling fan, and he is basically a bad Alan Partridge failed DJ. There are more knowledgable guys sitting back in the studio ?
    Fine thank you ...........aye he is a bit of a f@d but for me as long as they keep giving the amount of coverage they do I'm satisfied.

    I hope Froome wins the Polka w/ yellow.

    Would be a fantastic success for such a dominant rider, who really should have won the tour last year.

    Sanchez won it in 2011. He can climb.

    Sky have been a more cohesive unit with 6 1/2 riders than they were with 9.

    Yeah its tempting fate to criticise too much I guess... I remember when I was a kid and feeling lucky that there was a 20 min segment on the saturday sports program on Irish TV... I'd hang around all afternoon watching countless horse races just to see if they would show it.... Eurosports coverage is pretty awesome. I'd love it though if they showed replays of old races in the off-season

    Gallopin is going to have to gallop a bit to get back after that :-)

    Not sure, with less than a minute separating 2nd and 5th or whatever I reckon it'll come down to Semnoz

    Quintana to get second! Even if Contador is on my fantasy team

    Rolland's point grabbing is over for the day it seems, the rest are dropping him as Jens injects a bit of pace.

    Really hoping for one of the GC guys to make a go at it here rather than leaving it till the final climb

    Wouldn't voigt be a bit faster if he stopped his front wheel weaving about so much?

    I wish some of the top contendors had the fight like Jens or Rui Costa to try one last bit to oust froome rather than sugar coat his procession into paris.

    I can only get a British Eurosport feed.

    Have you guys all been watching this? I've just had 2km of Carlton and I've already had enough.
