    Froome with Bertie over Madeleine. Bardet 7s in front of the pair.

    Edit 1:22 behind leaders


    Why is this not on the telly box? You'd think there was a major European sporting competition on.

    I've got the choice of Albania v Switzerland on NOS (who wants to watch that in the Netherlands?). The same on één (maybe more people in Belgium want to watch it because at least they're in the Euros). Nothing at all on Sporza until 16.20 and only Eurosport promising me cycling at 16h although right now there's tennis from Stuttgart and Eurosport love tennis.

    I FINALLY have time to watch some cycling and I'm being thwarted!

    Pinky takes max points over the Madeleine

    Edit: flipping autocorrect Pinot

    Chérel, Vervaecke and Pinot have gone clear but Pinot can't follow the other two riders.

    So 3,14, 8, Aru +1, peloton. 13 s between Aru and peloton

    No idea if this really was taken on the Madeleine, but pretend it was and that Contador was brought back by Stannard.

    It's not from today as Porte's still in the KOM jersey. Sky are using it on their Twitter to accompany the news of them pulling Bert back though.

    God I'm boring!

    Well spotted (sorry). Sky are cheeky monkeys for using it though.

    In the descent of la Madeleine, Serge Pauwels has rejoined Mikaël Chérel and Louis Vervaecke. Three riders at the front, followed by the group of Thibaut Pinot. Fabio Aru and Romain Bardet are part of another group at 40 seconds. Yellow-blue jersey group with Contador at 1.30.

    And ITV begins.

    The eurosport UCI chanel showing the Dolphin doesn't go live until 1520 so I imagine that is the earliest any roadcats will begin

    Chérel, Vervaecke and Pauwels are 26 seconds ahead of a group of 17 riders comprising Aru, Bardet, Pinot and Gallopin. Yellow-blue jersey group at 1.45.

    Itv reviewing the race so far, I might soon start using Father Jack phrases involving biscuits.

    I seem to recall some law about TV crews not starting work until after the crème brûlées, cognac and coffees have been dealt with.
