    My Sky box has just gone down, hopefully that's not an omen!
    Eurosport has gone for me on Virgin.. Switched to itv4 and they missed Contador falling during ad break.. Looks ok and just getting back on the peloton

    Hustle and bustle... there's not much room on those French roads...

    Berti getting medical attention to his right shoulder, and has also changed his busted right shoe.

    Think he's bribed the doctor to take their time.

    Shame this stage isn't running the other way so they are closer to the coast at the end.

    The doctor in the medical car has the most outrageous ginger hair....... not surprised Berti looked anguished.

    Some suggestion on Twitter that shop steward Cancellara called on the peloton to wait

    Usually watch Eurosport, and somehow ended up on ITV4. Ned and Dave are actually alright, aren't they?
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    They are pretty good, I think. I know lots of people don't like Carlton Kirby but I think he's OK. I don't like all the advert breaks on ITV, though. However, my local cable company cancelled their contract with Eurosport at the end of May, so this is my first time with ITV. Millar obviously knows what he's talking about, and gives little nuggets of info from the rider's POV.
    I'm really going to be sick of those Skoda adverts in 3 weeks, though... :roll:

    Seemed to be the case although arguably the right thing to do with one of the favourites down.

    To be fair Luke made sure he rode over Bertie though!

    You have to take them sort of chances when you get them

    I'm already sick of the Alpecin advert. Carlton has been tolerable so far today. Sean has been on good form, he's come a long way from when he almost had to be forced to speak - happy to chat away and chuck out a few jokes which I actually think Carlton has helped with if only because it is the only way Kelly can get him to shut up.

    Is that the one about German engineering for your hair? Absolute boll0cx. I am missing Kelly, I find his voice rather soothing...
    I'll be interested to see the finish, though, to compare the Ned's climax with Carlton's...
