    I was hoping for more from Jens today after the baseball bat picture!

    ***Puerile schoolboy humour alert***

    According to the stage map they ride up Spunky Canyon on tomorrow's stage. :lol: :oops:

    Phinney actually doing his best to justify the constant talking up he seems to get.

    I can't bear it. He's got a Nibali-esque 20s.

    If it comes back together this is surely a win for Sags no?

    Phinney looks like he has few spacers on under his stem? He better not post a photo of his bike on here or the 'no option ever but to stem slam' berks might give him a hard time.

    Brian Smith reading my mind about dubious time gaps but it seems it's actually bigger than shown. Some ride to pull out a gap against two marauding sprint trains. Don't like him but fair play that's a great ride.

    I know Phinney gets a pasting on here (And he does do some dumb things on twitter) But when he rides like this I think he's entertaining

    Have they sacked the graphics guys from the previous days? There are a few useful/interesting things appearing!

    He looks like he's in the little ring the way he's spinning. Two miscalculations in two days?

    Canondale doing a really poor job here.

    Bunch is getting quicker, I don't think he'll make it

    Coming down, I think they may get him thanks to OGE.

    Sure they're going as fast as they can, but it doesn't look enough, UHC guy riding away from the group sort of proves that.

    They are no OPQS, probably why Sagan normally freestyles it

    So hard to tell, graphics say 1 min, commentators saying 25secs. UHC rider got eaten up relatively quickly

    Really hope Sagan doesn't get this. Surprised Degenkolb isn't there.

    Can't fault Phinney's position on the bike, looks spot on

    Nice victory salute, Frenchie should approve of that.

    Yeah, but he'd also approve if someone did a camp pistol shot

    Did I miss the bunch sprint or didn't the cameras pick it up?

    Deserves his celebratory bow after that ... A few more wins and we'll soon forget his annoyingness ...

    Of course they didn't.
