    Fairly sure Cancellara is in the lead group.


    He's going to smash stage 5.

    Gerrans still there. He'll pounce in the last 50 metres to win the sprint. :P

    Thanking you.

    Anyone spotted Little Flower?
    Haven't heard him mentioned for a while now. There's someone from OPQS in the first 10-12 but can't see who it is.

    Sir Jan Bakelants is hanging off the back and there's one OPQS guy in the main group. It must by Kwiatkowski.

    Betting on a GC rider trying it on at Côte de Jenkin Road? Nibs looking comfortable, Froome under pressure to make the GB crowd love him....

    G has been on or near the front for a hell of a long time now. Doing a solid job.

    Anyone seen if Kristoff is in the leading group?
