    5km to go and Weening still has a reasonable gap of 48".

    Weening no longer pedalling squares. More like rough-as-a-badgers-arse triangles.

    Weening looks a bit like I did on my old commute when I ran out of gears.

    That;s got to be sickening though, right? All day in the break then reeled in 2km from victory.

    TdG just blitzes Pieter, 1.5 to go, will likely win the stage

    Richie goes from the bunch but chased by Bertie

    So much so that RP has caught Bertie and does him on the line...

    Weening rolls over with TJ

    Froome appears from nowhere

    Carthy also just behind Froome

    I don't think so. It's just his first proper race of the season.
