    Thanks.

    Wasted effort by those riders as peloton at 30 secs.

    What will the time cut likely be?

    36 minutes, Talanski could make it, or be refished.

    Talansky - what a waste of a moto.

    If they can spare one for him why do they never spare one for the bus?

    I guess he's the great white American hope (along with TVG) - that's a big market they want to cater for. I bet Phil and Paul are going into overdrive about it.

    Not usually any GC contenders in the bus, much less miles off the back on their own...

    He stopped for a really long pee.

    (actually a puncture + previous injuries taking their toll)

    Polka dots dropped. Hate that.

    Roche has given it some gas and doubled he lead to 30 secs.

    Lampre Rider and Astana (scarponi, I think) crash. Lampre left without rear mech!

    Martin catches Roche with ease on the descent

    None other than Big Tone murdering this descent.

    Small bunch off the front behind Martin now?

    Edit: yeah Nibali + Sagan in there, less than 10 in total

    100m gap in the peloton. Nibs is in the front.

    That descent looks lovely, I don't mean to race down though.

    No more than 10 riders in that group. 3 OPQS on the front, Nibs, a Tinky and some others. Looks like Valverde.

    Yep, Porte and most of the other GC contenders aren't in there

    Sagan is in there but they have slowed somewhat and the peloton rejoins.

    Don't imagine DiMarchi is trusting anything Big Tone says today...OPQS going for the win, good to see

    Although some of you only care about the GC, when it's boring it certainly allows for better stages
