    That's a nice cadence. And yes Ben I believe, anyone want to dig out the picture of Rolland?

    Whereas Gesink looks like he's doing one.

    Love the little smirk above. Like he knows that this will live on in the memory of those unfortunate enough to be blessed with the gift of sight

    With a tongue that size I think he'll be the new French housewives favourite!

    Whenever I want to explain cycling's dark and regrettable history, Pierre Rolland's sense of fashion is always my first port of call.

    Missed most of that. Any decent GC action?

    To say there was absolutely sod all GC action - what a stage that was. Fascinating from when I tuned in after 30km

    Superb win that. Give him a couple of years and he'll be dropping time on the early stages to go stage and KoM hunting ;)

    Bunch sprint for the GC contenders.

    I think it was too hard too early and the climb itself not being selective enough plus a tough day tomorrow.

    That was like a meal that had a fantastic starter, great main course and a pretty meh dessert.

    I'll crack on with tomorrow's stage in a bit.

    I suspect that will be the meal with special dessert

    I'm knackered. That was an excellent stage, with a well deserving winner.
    No GC action of any note, but that was always likely with that finish and the monsters that wait tomorrow.

    Astana and BMC will be hoping Sky worked as hard as they looked like they did.
