    We sit here watching for hours only to hear Kirby say the race will only start in the last 10k... same with every stage this race so far. Hmmm...

    Why did I kill myself to get a big ride in the dunes in and get home for this?

    Andorra's so 'clean and tidy' there isn't even anything funny to try and spot.

    Not seen him for ages, but I assume Yates is still in the peloton?

    Reckon those gymnasts taking a tumble into then peloton would have livened things up a bit.

    Dumoulin is very familiar with the Arcalis.
    Giant's Vuelta hotel is up the road a bit.

    Peloton is losing even more time to the break.

    How slow are they going??

    They're stocking up on duty free Toblerone, Haribo and M&Ms.

    Why with 2 men in the breakaway don't Movistar go after Dumolin? They seem a very dull team, folks criticse Sky but Movistar are worse as Sky have the yellow, Movistar don't even fancy the stage.

    They're not there to win the stage. They're there to help Quintana.

    And they're ten minutes up the road with 7km to go, so they're sod all use to him.

    To be fair at 9 minutes ahead with only 7km to go they won't be helping Quintana today.

    They seem entirely incapable of any sort of plan B. Same for BMC.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Says something when Sagan can hang on in the peleton. What on earth are BMC, Movistar and Astana doing (apart from the obvious bugger all)?
