Noncentini, Gilbert and Chavanel are the three chasing the front four and are at 45 secs

Contador helping the leaders by not helping Hesjedal. Fortunately, this is OK in the Hesjedal unofficial rule book. Lots of payback today.0

Almost every stage has been great racing - tbh it doesn't really matter who anybody is riding for when it's so enjoyable. Obviously it would be great if Porte was up there but you can't have everything.0 -
