    Points jersey. He was second yesterday. EDIT. He was third but Küng is in the white jersey.

    Suggestions there was oil or petrol on the road yesterday where Valverde slid.

    I can't believe he's actually riding. Chapeau !

    Shirley it's the green points jersey for yesterday's effort?

    Come on Dylan, don't let Bouhanni throw you off Sagan's wheel.

    :(

    Kittel crying...

    Good old fashioned bunch sprint that. Nice to see Cav up there even if he's lacking the outright pace.

    I don't like Kittel.

    There I said it.

    Cav in 4th. Not bad MY MAN, not bad.

    Disappointing from Sagan. Well it is if he is your PTP pick.

    Sagan seemed busted when Colbrelli went through. Was that finish slightly uphill?

    Sagan not in the top ten. The Green Jersey may be far from a formality

    Very encouraging all things considered. I thought he was coming through at one point but he's just lacking that extra kick at the moment.

    Thankfully everybody got home safely except for 100 grams of Froome's bottom.

    We had one of the station. I think that is deliberate.

    Yes I did too but as you he lacks the final kick.

    They were too busy setting up the shots of the only decent building in Liege. They can't bother with shots of the actual cycling, Liege tourism needs to get people to visit (the station at least).

    EDIT - might have something to do with the tree cover.
