    Winner was in the break for one of the Irish stages.

    I hear different.

    See photo above, think that is him

    I'm no expert but I think that was a double entendre.

    I am so happy to see all these Colombians mixing it up all over the place.

    Lost over 2 minutes in the last 10km so this seems pretty doomed.

    Oh my, 12km 1.30. They need to ride for the lifes.

    Yep, coming down fast - going to be a close one but I think the bunch has this.

    No chance for that break. Can't believe they lost 3 minutes in less than 15km.

    And now they are attacking eachother. All done..

    Damn, two Colombains dropped from the break.

    Edit: back on.

    I reckon they'll get caught at 500m to go unless they sit up.

    6k 20 secs. Shame. Good effort though.

    Big Bean, going to be a lot of 'panache' points from today following your logic.

    Yep, came down stupidly fast in the end. Possibly the wrong type of riders to slug it out or just so long out front, shame.

    Anyone know how Farrar has managed to lose over 33 minutes in 6 more or less flat stages including one that was neutralised and another where he was in the top 10?

    He has sat up. Just under 3km banner.

    Panache points for Boem today?

    All together now just inside 3km. Ventoso down!

    Well he is not that good. There are quite a few riders below him though.

    Bouhanni said he had lots of teams interested in him. Suspect he is moving next year and getting a hefty payrise.

    Twisty run in. Lucky it stayed dry today. Swift looked well positioned at 1km out but seemed to allow himself to get bullied out of it. Who were Giant working for?
