    Dangerous by Roche there. Sagan outsprinted by Nibbles. Who was Giant rider? Degenkolb? CHENG?

    Starting to feel really sorry for Sagan now. He has really lit up a few stage finishes

    Bennati hold out to be in the sprint. Very good.

    No time gained. Jesus that went to the wire!

    GvA in there. Trentin 3rd. Wonder where Kwiat went

    Peter Sagan is furious again! Just threw his bike through the air behind the podium truck. #TDF

    No win still for OGE. The Back Stage Pass should make for decent viewing tonight.

    Gallopin is probably just trying to get the Combativity Award seeing as that's the prize his missus hands out.

    He's only got himself to blame. Keeps wasting his team chasing down breaks far too early, then having
    none to get rid of the Degenkolbs of this world, when the terrain to do it appears.

    Where Lotto in the same hotel as OPQS last night?
    Gallopin must have been sharing with Tony Martin.
    For a guy who'd put all that effort into his yellow jersey exploits, he looked remarkably fresh.

    Another great stage, but as always its the riders that make it so. Some scary stuff coming off the last climb but hats off to Tony, caught but attacked again. Sagan has used a lot of energy to be in the top group on every stage so far, can he keep burning himself and his team like that?

    On the Radio 5 commentary, when Sagan was charging away on the front again, Rob Hatch: "Peter Sagan. Will he ever learn? But do we want him to?"

    Must not forget that whilst also being generally lovely AND French, she is also a very talented cyclist.

    First time I've listened. Highly recommended. Good opinionated commentary.

    How to win a race. Follow Peter Sagan's inevitable attack on the last descent. Be first to jump tiny front group while Peter anchors the chase. It's a bit thick to keep doing the same thing time after time.

    You'll have to stream it from the BBC tour page for the next few days as 5live xtra will move to the Test match tomorrow.

    Where did Nibali cross the line? I'm sure it looked like he was in front of Sagan but cant see him in top 10

    Did he lose position even once? Totally in control. The Master.
