    Very impressive from Pinot. But can't shift Péraud or finish Valverde.

    Nibali is nearly as good as my all time favourite rider, Pantani.

    You know that feeling when a fly gets in you mouth riding, that's how I feel saying that Valverde has done a sterling ride here..

    Yuck!!

    Majka still in contact. For some reason I quite want him to keep the polka dots...

    Dubious from Nibs. Takes pretty much the entire climb by himself, full gas, after 3 brutal days.

    Still think that Stage 5 was a wafty crank compared to the hours long tantric session taht is Le Tour but Nibbles is a deserved winner of this GC

    Fair play to Pinot there too, frenchies putting on a show

    15s from 2nd to 4th (Pinot, Peraud, Valverde)

    Peraud is on the podium, for now. Brilliant. Hopefully he will have the beating of Valverde in the TT as well.

    Really good to see the first 3 positions on the stage taken by jersey leaders. No default winners there (well, maybe Nibali).
