    Hoping for a Spartacus win here, but might be one for big Tony.

    He better get in the break sharpish then. Cummings should win this :)

    I assume they think this'll come back 'cos Van Avermaet has taken another 5 mins over the bunch!

    They're both in the break...

    I'm prepared to eat my words... but Nibali is NOT going to win today. More chance of Lutsenko his team-mate.

    I think they'll be fine with that. They'll be happy for him to keep yellow through the Pyrenees. On the other hand they won't want to give Nibali much time back.

    You're talking about Cancellara? I don't see him listed in the break

    They seem to be holding the break at around 5'30" which seems sensible.

    Cancellara definitely in the break.

    Yes.

    He is 100% undeniably in the break... leading on the down hill drags too.

    Not sure he'll take it today if the break sticks, but I managed to get a fiver on him at 101/1 this morning. So fingers crossed!

    It's actually quite cool, you can swap between 5 different cameras on different motos.

    Nibali does something and claims some KOM points on a Cat 4.

    Prepare for fireworks folks, he's clearly in form! :wink:

    So - why's Nibali getting frisky on such an unremarkable stage?

    He's lacking form and needs to do something...

    I can see him trying to go for the KOM jersey.

    [Nibs] Fancies himself on the descent?

    He needs the toilet and wants to get to the finish quicker.

    1 point and 200 euros. Might be the best result he'll get at this tour.

    I fully expect Nibali to attack on the descent. I think the only reason he lost time the other day was to target this stage.

    Alternatively, he's hopelessly out of form and will be dropped on the climb.

    Cummings has been soft pedalling all week in preparation for this stage
