    I am only following this race through PTP... I felt like I should make picks to try and keep up my current good run from the Classics, but I am doing abysmally... Glad I haven't watched the race either as it sounds fairly dull.

    It has snowed every day this week in my bit of NW Derbyshire. We're all doomed I tell you, doomed.

    8km to go gap 12". C'mon Alex

    Alas sprinters' teams are massing, think our boy is doomed.

    Still not raining.

    Interesting sprint. Froome in Elia's leadout train. Swift sat on Elia's wheel. Edmondson took a flier, looked like he was going to take it but ran out of steam.

    Twitter showing argument between Reza & Moscon after the finish. Twatters suggesting racism, but maybe Reza thought he was impeded.

    Seems racial abuse is another thing ignored by the UCI who prefer to let them teams deal with it internally. Like tripping the biopassport :D

    Yates takes the stage and GC lead with Porte second having bridged a 50 secs gap on the final climb. Froome nowhere, about 1'15 down at the finish.

    Some stunning scenery as the sun came out but lots of fresh snow in the higher mountains.

    what Dorset Boy said :)

    Decent final 20km

    Yates and Porte v impressive

    Fenton looks a bit Fenton 2014. Having said that, he'll go and rip the Dauphine now

    Racism is an issue in the peloton for sure, and expressions of it need to be cracked down on hard - personally I don't care whether it's UCI or teams doing the cracking down, but it's bloody unacceptable

    If only Kirby could sum up so succinctly. Well done.
    The riders managed to make bit of a silk purse out of the organiser's sow's ear course.

    The UCI have announced they've opened an investigation into Moscon's alleged abuse today.
