    Looking forward to the photos from today...one of the best backdrops for a finish. The ones from yesterday are amazing...one in particular of Cav by himself with a long stretch of gravel road stretching ahead of him is special.

    You get the feeling that he's left a dead lion and a dismembered gladiator at the last corner...

    Charming race sponsorship: sycophantic parochial prophylactic concern wrapped in global rubber conglomerate.

    Is Brian Smith the one murdering French? Apparently there's a rider from Ah Jay Twos Er in the breakaway.

    The full Movistar train keeping the break under total control.
    A very Sky-like approach.

    Wish I had access to Kirby & Lloyd - DQ is doing my box in already.

    Sporza seem to have forgotten to send anyone to commentate at all.

    Could have told you that.
    On the plus side, they are covering all of P-N live, which is more than can be said of Eurosport.

    I wonder who Movistar are riding for: Valverde, or the Quintana gang?

    What size is Gastauer's bike? The head tube suggests 60+ yet he seems to dwarf it. Riding strongly though.

    Interesting pronunciation of Quintana by Quigley - rhyming it with Cantona... :roll:
