    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.

    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?

    Today, he's punctured


    It's Thomas apparently. Second or third of today.

    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.
