    Uran pumped for 4mins.

    Got to LOVE Seb pacing him up. I think they live together.

    This link was amazing - hardly any adverts, never once flickered and picture quality was clear.

    The race would have been set up quite nicely, but for the 2 min loss of the descent. As it is it looks like it is all over.

    But remind me never, ever, ever, to contemplate trying to ride up it! :shock:

    Certain to be stage that will be talked about in years to come.
    Quintana led for the entire final 20kms.
    Not bad for someone with an ear infection and on antibiotics.

    Epic grovel from Hesjedal and poor Pierre popped spectacularly.
    (although a bigger winner on the day)
    Kudos Kelderman for not wheel watching.
    Aru looked dead on several occasions, but still managed to best the rest.

    Greg told Quintana on the final TDF podium, "you will be a champion," after today, it looks like he may be right.

    Glad to be of service. Hopefully the same, or similar will work again.

    Quintana familiar with these conditions, of course. He rode the Tour of Britain. #balmy

    I wonder what Uran will have to say about this.
