    I'd still like him to get a stage win at some point after his escapades a few years ago.

    Kiry just exhaled for the first time on this climb. Tommy V has gurned for the 1,000,000th time and CHENG however has yet to breath all stage.

    Kiri got his pain face on. Going to be really tough as attacks haven't started yet from these wheelsuckers.

    40 secs

    Peloton at 3.55

    Gruniad liveblog suggesting Kiri has gone back to 1min20 from 1min, if so sterling effort.

    e: actually sterling effort regardless!

    e again: and it's not correct anyway, says 41s now in the text.

    I must say, the blanched look does not look good on Peanut. This was a better look:

    Battle for KOM points will close this right up. Good effort though.

    Did Paul just say Nibali is a good "stratetistician"?

    I can't breathe through a mouth as closed as Nibs whilst sitting at this desk, let alone on a bike.

    Pinot looking a bit isolated as AG2R set the pace in the GC group.

    AG2R absolute drilling it. Trying to isolate Pinot I suppose.

    Why did Saxon bring back kiri just in time for Jrod to win the climb?

    Softening the opposition up so the leaders are on their own when pinot attacks?

    Yep. Porte was there too just before the summit before he got dropped.

    Bardet taking some risks on the descent to stay clear of Pinot.
