    With Kidl being the clear sprint favourite and teams left with no GC, maybe the right break will be left to it.
    Tomorrow looks more interesting, If matthews gets in the break QS will be forced to chase. The rest can just sit on their wheel and watch them burn on the that long long run in. A bugger for dan martin's hope on Friday.

    Past few stages it's been QS, Katusha and Lotto with someone on the front keeping it ticking over. They should just leave QS to do all the work today.

    They'll chase anyway. Only Brambilla and maybe Gilbert will be any use to Martin whatever they do.

    Katusha and Lotto (and Cofidis) don't really have much else to do. Their best chance of a good result is in the sprint, even if it's not a win.

    It is available on the PC version, but still not on the Android.

    I got told that it doesn't work on Android, so I replied and asked why it did last week. No reply.

    Nearly at the start.
    Hopefully the breakaway will take a bit longer than a minute to get sorted.

    Oh dear, Offredo goes immediately and nobody else can be arsed. :oops:


    Edit: Hang on. A few others may be waking up.

    as if by magic:
    Arthur Vichot (FDJ) has had a small crash on a central reservation. He's waiting for a new bike. He spoke to letour.com this morning: “It was strange to be only five riders at breakfast this morning [after the four others including Arnaud Démare were out of the time limit on stage 9]. But we've had a beautiful first week with a stage win and the green jersey. Many teams would be pleased with that. We are five riders left with different skills to target different kind of stages.”

    Fall off, if Arthur Vichot is anything to go by.

    It's days like this I'd love to have a ride in the Tour peloton, just a nice big club run until the last 50km. Perfectly understandable after the weekend though. I suspect the GC teams would be happy to roll in 15 minutes behind the front two so it's up to a couple of sprint teams to control things. As I say that QS pick the pace up.

    If Dan Martin wants to be a genuine GC contender I suspect he's going to have to change teams, especially with team sizes reducing next year.

    Who is the brain dead rider talking about cyclocross on itv4? It's like a lullaby.

    EDIT... is it Tom Pidcock did they say? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Pidcock

    Why put someone on commentary/interview who can barely talk? Get someone who can, couldn't care less if he's 17, there's plenty of 17 year olds capable of talking.

    Apparently Gesbert set fire to his hotel last night. Maybe this is punishment.

    I'm on a Mac and don't have it. I had it for the first few stages and then Moto3 disappeared quicker than Arnaud Démare from the back of the peloton.

    I am on a PC and have no camera options whatsoever - it says multicam but no Moto 3 or anything

    Slightly ironic, given Offredo's face plant at Roubaix, back when he was FDJ...
