    Please can someone fill me in on yesterday. Work got in the way and I've only just seen the results - was it a steep ramp like finish designed for J Rod?

    Not that steep but steep enough for J Rod, yes. Froome kicked off but didn't have it.

    The riders legs are not going to be working very well in these conditions.

    15ks and TDG still holding on. Saxo been doing all the work but Movistar, Sky and Katusha are moving up.

    TDG gap has increased (likely previous bad info) and is floating around a minute.

    No, they were showing MSR - it has just confused the hell out of me as they claim to be showing VCC. I suddenly realised that the breakaway was the same as Sunday, the weather was the same and even the commentary.

    Serpa and Plaza are together 30secs behind TDG.

    Reports all three together and on the final climb they have 1.20 advance. Heavy snow at the finish.

    TDG has lost the pace and Serpa and Plaza continue together.

    11km to go and the three leaders have 40 seconds on the bunch but Rolland has attacked with a huge move. He's 10 seconds clear of the peloton and closing on the three leaders. Still no moves from the main favourites.

    Very narrow climb what are these GC riders waiting for.

    All lined out single file.

    thanks for the updates...

    Would love to see De Gendt get a win after his transfer uncertainties last year...

    4ks, still not caught. Just lost visual from the motos although the conditions were clear there. Back with the finish line cams.
