    It's nice of these other teams to do the 10-2k leadout for Giant every day

    Still not seen a Lampre rider. Where is Horner? I've got 50 quid on him for the win...

    Thank God it's dry.
    Cav's train is awesome, Renshaw isn't.

    Impressive riding from OPQS but struggling to see how it's anything other than an exhibition. All the players are in the front bunch

    Yes I realise that, at least for today, was a joke... but on less windy stages they do always seem to manage to avoid being on the front until ~1.5k out.

    Kittel - mechanical or dropped? Looked like a mechanical from the way he was looking down at the bike.
