    They should stick half a dozen intermediate sprints in on days like this - at least one of the competitions would be active.

    Gap at 40" with 12km left. QS and Katusha come to the front. Reckon it will come down quick when Martin gets to the front.

    A lady got her purple sun hat knocked off by someone waving a flag. She didn't seem too bothered.

    Quadruple points if the break gets 2 sprints further up the road than the last rider in the peloton ? (Equivalent to "gaining a lap"?)

    Its a race...

    ... Between the peolton and my laptop battery. 9km vs 25% vs annoying wifi buffering

    Cycle faster.

    Near straight run in for the last few KM apparently. Sprint train drag race coming up. No one seems to be able to really dominate though, this should be good

    There's central reservation in the next few km. Race goes both sides.

    Could see Kittel gritting his teeth in the wheel, this is very close

    Well, well. Looked like EBH to me live.

    Not sure how they could call Kittel off that photo.

    Not much of a lunge from EBH, his head is fully visible in front of kittel's on the line

    Don't you just love it when the wifi is buffing bad. My laptop just went from 550 metres to the last 10 metres. Ive no idea what happened.

    Did Kittel get the stage win?

    I want to see the photo they used. There couldn't have been more than a gnat's c0ck in it.

    If I had to give it to someone looking at the photo I'd have given it to EBH not Kittel.
