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

    Just being a bit of a pussy by the looks of things [that is meant to be facetious]

    Props to him for getting back on the bike now after that sit down - Apparently has back pain. Looks emotional.

    After a super motivating talk from Vaughters.

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

    That was Hunter.

    I'm not sure I'd like a motivational talk from Klier. (That is Klier isn't it?)

    I feel bad for Talansky, but show the race.

    Now Roche attacks. Feillu on his wheel.

    Any other rider I would say this was heroic. With this guy it seems like attention seeking.

    Cheng to tow Talansky to the finish and make the cut by 5 seconds?

    Roche with Jan, Feillu and a Garmin. At 45 secs. Bunch at 1.10.

    38 secs.

    Garmin rider is Slagter. Yes. A touch early though.

    Elminger only rider left.

    Zoom Zoom Europcar. Everyone chasing

    Roche pushing on the descent and so far only Jan Bak can follow. Slagter a touch further back with the Cofidis rider from the break.

    Unsurprisingly BSE continue their sh*t run and Feillu is dropped.

    Ad break. FFS. Not ideal timing.

    Elminger pretty strong. Racing started early - winner will unlikely come from those that make a move now.

    Not sure the peloton are going to let anything go properly. Orica obviously fancy it. Nibs will probably descend like a demon and take another stage :wink:

    Two Europcar riders get a gap.

    Slagter caught :roll:

    Movistar rider goes for it.

    Westra peels off cooked.
