    Riblon and Rolland to form some kind of alliance to make sure one of them ends up in the polka dots. Riblon has been pretty quiet in the break and not going away for small points, so I reckon he has good legs again to have a go at taking this final climb.

    JEAN MICHEL JARRE

    Why am I not in Paris tomorrow!!!!!!

    Kirby has gown on me over this Tour. I assume he's having a shocker today.

    What he has done is bring Kelly out of his shell. We all assumed from previous races that Kelly hated Kirby or at the very least thought he was a babbling fool. He possibly does think this and as such Kelly has stepped up and taken more responsibility for keeping things ticking over. His insights are as sharp as ever but his lambasting of riders and team tactics has been superb. Yesterday's slating of Seb Van Marke (sic) getting pushed up the Alpe was a highlight.

    Also it appears that Kirby & Kelly share a love of red wine. Early on some stages you can imagine the pair of them giggling like naughty school boys when Kirby regales the tale of the previous evening's meal or drive.

    Chapeau Kirby & Kelly. Most importantly get well soon and back behind the mic Mr Harmon.

    Richie Froome indeed.

    It could be another ding-dong battle between Riblon and TJ again. TJ for the win with Riblon in second and taking the polka-dot jersey. It is hard to see Froome finishing outside the top seven though, so it looks like he has that competition sorted as well.

    Does anyone notice how Petra Harangi keeps calling Froome "Froom-ee"?

    Gilbert really drilling it for TJ to try and get as much time as poss before the start of the climb.

    What was the road surface of that bridge? Very black and shiny, no wonder they took it a bit steady (not only because of the sharp turn off the bridge).

    Now Phil saying too that "they WILL race tomorrow"...? Why is he so sure? The race will be decided in about an hour anyway.

    The podium is about the only place you won't see Gilbert's rainbow stripes these days :P

    He's senile... apart from the Fignon/Lemond TT showdown in 1989, there has never been a stage in the last 25 years where the final stage saw a race between the gc contenders. #muppetalso

    He meant a race for 2nd and 3rd (etc.) IMO

    Proper sprint lead out into the bottom of the climb, I can see this being carnage. Could be a decent race up here.

    Cmon Purito, i hope you have it.

    Bertie should crack going on by form, hopefully Porte and Froome destroy the field and help him out.
