    Carnage, not very many people left in the mix here. Tinkoff killing it on non-standard manner once again.

    Yeah think so. Aru too as Tiralongo was just pulling with Tinkoff.

    Front group is pretty small, can't be much more than 30. Contador, Froome, Porte, Rolland, Aru in there. Gap to G2 apparently 30" and slowly going out.

    Who's leading the GC at the moment? due to the screwed up footage yesterday i never got to check. I know Valverde won, but is Rolland still on top or did that all change yesterday?

    Don't think there was any change yesterday, and it's Paterski who's GC leader right now because of the time bonus from winning stage 1.

    Thanks FF.

    Thats right, I always forget about time bonuses god knows why, been watching long enough. (and forgot Paterski won with all the talk of Rolland being allowed to get away on Monday)

    QS pulling so Uran is there.

    Basically all of them against Movistar who are only out of it due to a crash. Lotto also caught out.

    Looks like Valverde leading the chasing group himself? TS still on the front of the lead group.

    Froome dropped? Or was it a mechanical?

    This is getting interesting...

    Porte getting his opportunity to play with some of the big boys.

    Front group includes Contador, Porte, Uran, Aru according to commentary, hard to see though.

    Pozzovivo too, and Talansky

    If Froome has been dropped then makes sense why Sky did ZERO to help with that break.

    ARU attacks.

    Hows Contador looking? dancing on the pedals with his mouth shut or got his teeth out?

    Dancing right now. Martin and Talansky dropped by that surge.

    There's some pint sized pedalling people in that petit peloton.
