    7km to go 1' to the chasers and 3' to the peloton for Kruijswijk.

    Of course there isn't. It's just like his leg excuse.

    Tiralongo looks like he's done a shift!

    I used to be a fan, but I was hanging about on another forum during the world champs the other year when he hit thet deck. My 'Reichenbach falls!' joke was massively under-appreciated so now he fill me with nothing but bitterness.

    He temporarily forgot and used his 'bad' arm to do his shoe up.

    5km Aru attacks. With Landa on the wheel. Contador matches as does Porte and Uran.

    Aru and another Astana attack. Contador rides across. Out of the saddle

    Aru attacks at 5k, Contador and Porte follows. Still a teammate with Aru.

    Has this forum just gone nuts? My iPad seems to have lost some pages on this thread and switched to the workshop section for no reason!

    Well that was a bit of an anti climax. Aru, Contador and Porte very closely matched. Astana are going to have to grind the others down slowly.

    I keep getting kicked out every time I try to post.

    Did someone make FF a moderator?

    No sign of road rash on Bertie, did he have one of those low speed topples after virtually avoiding the crash? I know that often hurts joints more than the higher speed slides.

    Bit of a PTP save in the end, hopefully haven't lost too much on GC. Reichenbach did well.

    Interesting that Contador has the weakest team though. Or he's wasted them drilling it from 30km out every day.
