    Sat up, in a heavyweight way that Sky wouldn't even understand. Fluoriclash.

    A Frenchman and a Colombian currently putting the sword to Sky and their protected Brit in horrible conditions. Fortune favours the brave and the fans love a real racer.

    They've got a whole 50 seconds with 50km to ride and the hills over.

    It doesnt matter if they win, its about entertaining the fans, and they probably wanted to be away from the Sky riders on the descent as they are prone to causing crashes like in GP Montreal. They also are probably cold as they never normally race on these frigid shores*

    Little Madrazo currently holding off the might of Murdoch`s millions.

    *Ireland has less rainfall than England.

    So when you said "putting Sky to the sword" you were meaning a theatrical sword, with fake blood and everything?

    Madrazo crashed on the descent. Don't think any Sky riders did.

    Dan Martin is French, so the rainfall in Ireland is irrelevant.

    Is this the budget tour, can we only afford 1 camera bike?

    They've been talking about tech problems on ITV4. I think that might be shorthand for "Our moto crashed on the Honister descent."

    I have no proof of this but the last we saw of the peleton was at the top of Honister.



    edit - moto 2 is now giving pictures.

    Any web designers out there? Get in contact with TOB. I just tried to find the profile for today and it took me a lot of clicks. And when I get there, it is just a squiggly line.

    To be fair I thought there was an overabundance of motos in-between Tana&Martin and Bernie.

    Looked like Eisel was going super fast so not sure how this small, no-name Movistar rider is increasing his gap. Letting him dangle.

    My horse likes Goldfrapp. NTD's likes The Cure. I think. By looking at them.
