    Sporza on here.

    Got my schnitzel from the butchers, Austrian Pinot blanc in the fridge.

    Looks like a very sore crash for Contador.

    I've been nursing a deep paper cut (didn't know it was possible!) in the bit between my thumb and forefinger knuckle and it's bloody painful enough!

    However, I must say that a lot of the adverts are funnier in the UK than we get over here. It's all skin whitening cremes and lipstick here.

    At 22km the racing is so fierce Wuyts lists all the Belgians in the Tour by name. Another 1.5km knocked off.

    Maybe Steve's too fast or just unpopular, or has body odour

    Be fair - it's giving us a gripping, pro's eye view of a lot of ankles. Basically it's Victorian cycle porn, isn't it?

    So anyone who didn't go for Kittel in PTP is feeling foolish now.
