    Kristoff right at the back too, Sagan still chasing on. The situation is such that Wanty Group are on the front

    OK I take that back. The two bearded men of Sky are now up front. Wiggins on Bernie's wheel.

    Wiggins appears at the front from seemingly nowhere. Much like the shopkeeper in Mr Benn.

    After dropping off the front for a bit Sky are following Rich's advice and really stringing things out now ahead of the Arenberg.

    Stybar on Arenberg will be like Torville and Dean, Sarajevo.

    I can't remember an addition of PR where Eisel was not on the front going into the Arenberg.

    Does this explain why Sagan was in a ditch?

    Sporza reports Sagan is at the side of the road, doing a #2

    Although apparently it was G and Eisel stayed with him.

    That's the advantage of listening to Sporza commentary - they've got their own commentators on motorbikes :D

    Can't believe Thomas had an off ... That never happens.

    Ah ... OK.

    Has he crashed (other than in the mental GW wind) this season?
