    Nice to see the riders have learned by sitting on his wheel. AC is such a cock.

    Contador looks like he's riding past sportive riders.

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Froome not losing much time by the way - stays at about 20 seconds behind Contador

    Froomey looking well underpar since the crash. Barely staying with Porte/Thomas.

    Wonder if he has some bad bruising to his ribs?

    The crash does seems to have had an impact

    Hmmm.. I didn;t call AC a FOOL, I called him a male chicken. :D

    Is Froomey losing a few wheels from his team mates. Bad day at the Office. :?

    Froome is a dead man.

    NIbali and Kelderman are closing in on the leaders, but Bertie is destroying the gap to everyone.

    the biggest problem for Froome is I'm afraid.... Contador.

    almost a minute down on AC now.

    Contador bringing the gap down, please win as I want Carlton Kirby to make good on his promise to eat his own hand.

    Bertie not doing anything great just riding at is pace, Froome is fooked, the front group not even splitting up and Froome losing time

    Yes, gaps growing much faster now.

    Talansky, Contador, Kelderman, Vandenbroeck, Nibali all in with a shout at the GC win still

    Not a steep descent generally - be a real advantage to rider who are in a working group.

    Don't think Contador will make contact with Nibali and Kelderman before the top. Could be close though.

    Nieve to stay up front and go for the win? Froome's chance of the win overall has gone, chance of a podium may well have gone too given the fairly small time gaps.

    This isn't over yet. Even if Contador catches the front group the effort he has expended could come back to bite him. What a stage.

    This is awesome stuff.

    Froome is broken but his team look strong so that must be some relief.

    He doesn't even look like he's hurting at the minute as he dances up the climbs passing blokes like they are fat 4th cats! I hope this doesn't turn out to be "not normal" performance.

    Froome paying for Stage 2 effort? The Mutant who fell to earth? Just the crash? We'll never know.

    Come on Talansky.

    Big risks on the descents, get the shovels outs. Meat all over the road. :'(
