Vermotte just losing the yellow, group out in front on Haytor containing Dumoulin and Dennis - Cummings and Gallopin just bridging across.

Quite an interesting final climb :)

    Good stage this, nobody helping Cummings across by the looks of it.

    Poels, Dennis and Dumoulin are now in front, Poels having a dig.

    Poels takes it, Cummings into yellow - Vermotte just coming in, will be about 1'30"+ back when he gets to the line.

    Vermotte 1'50" on Poels so I guess 1'35"-1'40" on Cummings.

    Vermotte looked farqued - nice to see people suffering on British climbs :D
  • I rode some of this the other week and found Dunchideock a real bastard.

    Excellent result for Steve - he's had a cracking year.

    How much can we expect Dumoulin to claw back in the ITT?

    Probably not quite enough. But it'll be close. Cummings is no mug in a short TT.

    ITV4 really slipped up putting those 2 on commentary, what with one making verbal mistakes every couple of minutes and the other saying "ya know" in every sentence. It's best watched with the 'Mute' button pressed!

    I like Frankie Boyle better on the cycling than Mock the Week.

    Porter's Dummerlyn though?

    I have to watch sitting next to a pedantic Dutchwoman. Can you imagine the torture? :D

    Today's circuit race will be hard going. Should split things up quite a bit and I reckon could suit Cummings. I nearly said the stage will be super tough, I think I've been watching to many interviews with cyclists!
  • Err Hugh, it was Bovey Tracey they went through on the way to Haytor; was Stacey someone from your courting days?
