    The Swiss must be starting to think they need to close this down otherwise Fabu might be out of it.

    Geraint, with blue lips, seemed pretty open about Brad not liking the rain as an explanation for his performance

    Endura's Bib shorts just all sold out due to the last hours coverage :D

    As for Jill Douglas - a posh rugby loving bird from the borders with little to none cycling knowledge.

    Why the Brits don't like the rain? Should they not be the best in the rain? :shock:

    Italy sending a hare up the road or a real attempt to get a solo win?

    By that logic the Dutch should be rubbish climbers...

    Cav always steps up in crap weather. Probably as a result of growing up in the IOM. just 28mph winds for today's ride :roll:

    OMG! Blue sky.

    I liked Jill Douglas' question about whether everyone was fully committed in the GB squad.
    Correlation is not causation.

    S'not a secret.

    Riders react very differently to weather.

    Roche suffers the same.

    Excellent tactics by Italy. Leave it to the rest.

    Easy when you have a Visconti in your team....

    Surprised the Spanish aren't doing as well.

    Some more info on time gaps would be a help.

    Visconti 17 seconds down but where is the field?

    And it went over Thomas's head as well.......Wiggins would have said "what do u mean" .....as for wiggins why no interviews from him ?

    Total respect to Huzarski, would love it to be fairy tale win for him.
    If I was Canc I would leave the chase up to the Belgians and Spannish, the Spannish sucking wheels and hoping others will pull it back.
    Some good riders left with no team support so will be interesting last lap.

    Wonder if any of the lone rangers can upset those with a nations with a few riders left? Clarke, Kiserslovski, Stybar, Sagan.

    I quite fancy Stybar to do well.

    Leaving it to the others to gradually chase Visconti isn't going to help Nibali, and is going to suit Sagan down to the ground. They need people attacking all over the place.

    Visconti doesn't look so fluent all of a sudden.

    What would you expect Thomas to say? "|Yeah Brad hates Frrome and is also shite in the rain" ?

    Less than 30km to go.

    Kick off with 20km to go?

    brilliant ride from Vansummeren to even be there, let alone working.
