    Garmin pressing on at the front with Talansky a few minutes off the back. Assuming he s going to abandon.

    Garmin showing no mercy. Ruthless when it comes to killing off their own rider.

    Who else are they riding for? I find that a bit strange.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    It's not a bad finish for Slagter or Navardauskas, but why they needed to increase the pace I've no idea.

    ITV commentator just now: "Average pace today is 43.6 miles per hour" - there's no way that's right?? Surely he means km per hour?

    Oh OK he just corrected himself, he did mean km/h. Great commentating skills.

    To be honest with you Demare has been pretty sh*t. Bouhanni would have been in the mix a lot more given his superior ability when the road goes up.

    Did Talansky crash? Just tuned in to see Garmin drilling it seemingly to drop their gc contender...

    Nibali looks like he is out for a spin in the park.

    After a super motivating talk from Vaughters.

    Would be impressive if the bulldog manages to finish inside the limit, recover then win a stage.

    I guess Garmin's riding could actually help Talansky if it forces an early autobus to come backwards towards him.
