    Cummings now breaking Vermote.

    Gives him the elbow and he sits back. What a chopper.

    3 to go. Cummings leading Vermote, still. Doesn't appear that he's done a single turn.

    oh...back on at 2.8k to go

    Cummings was epic, but I have to consider that he should have been much more conservative by the end. There was scope to drop him on some of the hills earlier.

    Vermote was riding for the stage, Cummings for the GC.

    So Cav turned round on the Struggle to 'have words' with a spectator. Spectator looked seriously sheepish!

    Yeah, I've had to have words with sheep when going up there also... they just don't get off the road.

    Bit of British bias above... c'mon, the guy has been in the break all day... give him a break... :-) he rode smart, he won

    Nice race

    Great ride by last year's LBL U23 winner Guillaume Martin. Some good performances in the last few weeks.

    That sheep is up there with the beautiful horse. They both have a certain, what do you call it? What's the word I'm looking for...? Ummmm.

    The Wiggins and Froome rivalry continues unabated I see.

    Just watched it all.
    I really enjoyed that.
    Half was like a cheap re-make of the epic Vuelta of yesterday.
    A vain chase, of a early, powerful breakaway, by a lesser cast, culminating in all bar two of Team Sky disappearing in the mist, on aptly named Struggle climb, never to be seen again. Struggle is right, it wouldn't be out of place in a Pais Vasco or Vuelta.
    It even had fanboys moaning about the winner.
    Last man standing from a early breakaway, hanging on the flying Cumming's and even did the odd tap is a lousy winner?
    Not a word about Roche sitting on from the Struggle, feigning cramp then trying to pinch third?
    Come on.

    The other half had all the ingredients that the ToB get universal acclaim for.
    Eyeballs out attacking madness over ever rolling terrain.

    Oh and just like the Vuelta, the GC is already over.(leaves, shutting the door very, very quietly........)

    I'm not surprised if Cav got a touch shirty today, some of the road painting I saw on Twitter was well out of order. I'm normally all in favour of paining giant male members on the road, but adding "Cav you ****" to it isn't OK, and a huge pair of breasts with "Peta's saggy tits" is the sort of thing someone that deserves a good kicking might paint.
