    Zubeldia? Did you spot him?

    Well done, you win today's Eye Spy prize.

    Spotted him on a graphic....

    3 Sky's back there too.

    OK you get to hold the prize until someone else spots him in the flesh. If no one does by the end of the stage, the prize is yours.

    French fans are more numerous than usual. No doubt from pride that they can't be beaten by les Anglais.

    Voeckler giving it some gas. Out 45 secs into the peloton in the last 15km.

    I do like Tommy. He's awesome. I hope Europcar are paying him well.

    You Dutch love a crosswind.....

    Not us 1.58m, 48kg ones.


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

    You haven't. I'm not Dutch.

    That explains it. Do you get a stiff neck with all the looking up?!

    Just out of curiosity, how much of a gap would Tommy need to hold off a marauding Peloton?

    The clue's under the avatar. I am indeed in Hong Kong - 7 hours ahead of the UK, though I've only had one Duvel this evening, honest. :wink:

    God could you imagine if we were all 7 hours ahead. These threads would be carnage.
