    Come on Stevo!

    My afternoons work has been disrupted substantially.

    Was too hungover to do anything productive this morning either...

    This is going to screw up Stevo's chances for the Lanterne Rouge..... I knew he'd do something silly like this.

    Greg Lemond forecasting that GvA will be in yellow tomorrow. So he's not going to lose 10 mins on one climb.

    Nice stage - don't even know who to root for, but looking forward to watching GVA do a Voeckler!

    I'm a bit in love with Steve Cummings.

    I'm a bit in love with Steve Cummings.

    Only a bit?

    You need to go 100% full commitment, just like the man himself.

    Race radio reporting 35s to Steve, which if true is impressive as he's added over 10s.

    36s now on screen

    COME ON STEEEVE!

    The chasers are looking at each other. Nibali needs to drop the other two.

    His gap is now over a minute.

    Other news is Pinot has been spat out the back of the main group, not good for him.

    Peloton aren't even trying and Pinot has been dropped big time. Nibali keeps losing time to Cummings and can't drop Navarro or Impey.

    Nibali dropped by Navarro and Daryl Impey, of all people.
  • Nibbles has nibbled!
    Road - '10 Giant Defy 3.5
    MTB - '05 Scott Yecora
    BMX - '04 Haro Nyquist R24 (don't judge me)

    Cracking ride from Impey - embarrassing for Nibbles though...

    There's no rider I enjoy see getting dropped more than Nibali

    What a waste, I had a few quid on Lutsenko e/w when he was in the break. Would have been better if Nibali dragged him to the bottom of the climb!

    So that solitary KOM point and the €200 IS all Signor Nibbles is getting out of this Tour.

    I have to agree with you.

    With maybe the exception of Señor Hairplugs.
