    Great...and we lose what might have been the best mountain contest for a decade.

    YEAH! :roll:

    Do you even like cycling? :?

    I LIVE for cycling. I just don't live for a Tour decided primarily on what happens in the mountains. Different strokes for different folks - don't hate me Brother.

    Today's stage is 10/10 for me so far - loving it. Not getting much work done mind.

    When is Cancellara going to show what he can do? Or not as strong as thought?

    He's behind Contador group apparently

    BTW - ES have the same ad breaks as ITV4 so don't feel you're missing out.

    They don't. I flicked to ITV earlier when ES went to break and they were also on break.

    ES came back and so I flicked back to ITV to check and they will still on break

    Nibali is the Greatest

    Looks so comfortable on the cobbles.

    Looks to have come off in the three seconds before the add break. Thanks ES

    Didn't fall - was stationary for few secs

    Sorry - I was observing "foot down" rules from the 1980s playground scene.

    Contador 1:42 down on leaders

    Let's see where things stand at the end. Contador can make some time back on Nibs in the mountains, should guarantee some great attacks.

    Wet roundabouts have no place in a GT, far too dangerous.

    More crashes on the roundabout in Contador's group

    These roundabouts are proving to be much more dangerous than the cobbles themselves
