    Anyway what's Little Flower up to?

    BREAKING NEWS - CHENG now leading the Lanterne! King Edward is cooked.

    I've had a craving for it since it was discussed on the Belkin thread (Despite never having tried it). Also I need to find a pic of Arthur in a normal cycling cap, I noticed he had a baseball cap on and that simply can't do!

    Can't decide if this looks more or less depressing when they're in the trees

    I don't want to coem over all Lefefre but you have to admire the Team Spirit in OPQS. I know there are other teams with similar (notably Garmin and OGE) but they don't tend to involve such high paid superstars as OPQS...

    Inside the last k of this climb, ~40s from Tony Martin's group to the break, Sagan caught by them.

    JRod takes the points ahead of Voeckler. Big Tone took the gap to 35 secs with the guys slowing a little before the sprint.

    Purito jumps for the KOM points, Voeckler on the wheel but can't come around.

    Edit: it is Barta not Koenig. Just saw his name listed - had previously been going on someone on here saying it was Koenig.

    I wonder how many people actually read the spoiler threads as a way of following the race?
