Billiant design for tv.
Six cols before tv, one and a whole load of nothing with coverage.

Me too.

5 went clear just before the first summit, included in the group Wout Poels (Sky), Ben Hermans (BMC), Perrig Quémeneur (Direct Energie), Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida) and Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale). No time gap being given. Are Sky putting Poels up the road for Froome fireworks later?
Edit: all back together0 -
De Gendt tried to get away, but closed down quickl. Nacer B already in trouble and off the back. He might be in for a very long day0

Plucky Tommy V takes the points on the Cat 4, and gets away with Vuillmeroz(spelling?) on descent
Grmay has joined them out front (autocorrect don't like these names...) 20 secs on the peloton0 -

Eurosport live. Either someone has ordered a hit on Kirby, or he has read his thread. No commentary at the moment. Media moguls have just cut to adverts whilst they 'fix' the issue :-(0
