    Valverde has no wheels to suck...he looks lost...weaving all over the road.

    So happy that Señor Hairplugs as a name has stuck.

    Nibali having none of it from Peraud, gets 2nd.

    Pinot 4th, Bardet 5th (same time, positions might be swapped), TJVG a few seconds back.

    Valverde's tactics in yesterday's stage made to look even more stupid today.

    Admire Phil & Paul's commitment to the mispronunciation of Majka's name even when they can hear the announcer pronouncing it correctly.

    Interesting stage, Myka must be a very strong 24 year old to ride like that after recent efforts.
    Team Froome looking shite this tour, only G with any credibility and kennaugh should have been there, he would be no worse than the others.

    Superb stage.

    Dont like Majka but extremely impressive to hold on.

    Nibali untouchable. He was not even trying.

    Lots of riders smoked.

    Shame Bardet didnt even try with his teams huge work.

    Frank may have the legs for a stage win later.

    Yates at 3.30. Promising.

    Apparently Riis has been screaming down the radio for the last 2km. Imagine Brailsford trying to motivate his riders.

    Sky should pull Thomas from the Tour now. As it stands he's the only rider on the squad capable of decent ride. And they flog him like a donkey.
