    Looks like Forforov or whatever the name is up for an upset

    He was already shipping time to Kruijswijk but it's a massive shame - not how you want to see him lose time in the GC

    I think they should fit electrodes to the motorbikes, to zap the running plonkers.

    Is the drama enough to cover the fact that the actors are chippers that won't stand a chance in a proper gran Tour?

    Good job the leaders had a 3min gap or Nibs would have been caught.

    They're designed to break off at the hanger if they're under too much stress though aren't they? Saves damaging the mech itself. If you drop your chain and something jams it's going to happen.

    I don't think Nibali is a chipper, and I think you're looking at future GT winners in Kruiswijk and Chaves.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Targeted the stage coming into the race and probably kept out of the wind for 2 weeks, all the leaders worked hard yesterday. Yes, I know he's Russian...

    Vino sounding seriously depressed in his interview. Nibali was going to lose a stack anyway.

    A Nibali-Valverde alliance for the final week? Will we see sparks from those two or they'll just throw in the towel looking for a stage win?

    Valverde continues to illustrate what a classy rider he is.
