    Always happy with a good split. Hope Griepel wins today - he's been 'scared' during the sprint stages so far this TdF apparently.

    Is that a drill?

    False alarm.

    Sorry folks, but good to see you're all on tenterhooks.

    Chasers 15 seconds or so behind, gap closing fairly quickly. They ve destroyed the breakway's advantage though

    Edit - looks a hell of a lot longer than 15secs on pictures though

    Does his steerer break?

    Yes, it looks like his right arm lifts violently while pulling hard on the bars.

    Blimey! I don't think I ever met a Dutch woman who was under 180cm! And my right leg weighs more than 48kg :)
