    Camera work this Tour has been very poor. They need to take a leaf out of the Giro in that regard.

    Currently sat in the fracture clinic waiting to see whether I need an op on broken collarbone after an off on Sunday. If I need an op then our trip to Paris for the weekend is off and with it my chance to see a Brit (hopefully) win the tour in person.

    This is my best source of info on today's after the damn NHS put my appointment right in the middle of a key stage. Free Wifi is the only thing this hospital has right.

    Bardet pulls his lead out to over 40s over the top

    Sad that Contador is not in top form. Vast majority of the others are just extremely boring modern day riders.

    Froome doesn't look that good. Shame no one actually tried to put him under pressure.

    I think most riders would take a Giro in exchange for iffy legs at the Tour!

    Froome looks like he's bonking. Checking pockets for food.

    Great work Frank.

    The GC group are a disgrace. Always someone to pull the other someone back. Attack and sit up. Froome must be really laughing inside.

    Yeah, thought the same. I can see him losing a tiny amount of time at the finish line but may give the others a psychological boost.

    Gap between Bardet and GC group has basically stayed stable the entire time from the Glandon.

    What a disaster that those toerags close down the Contador group and do nothing the rest of the race. Just killing the race; great work.

    What do they need to do then? It's his problem, not theirs!

    Quality reprise of the face-palm for Bardet at the line.

    Contador didn't lose any time to G there. Good job.
