    That's Contador done for the day then. At least he didn't fall off.

    Not great news for Cummings, that.

    ITV decided to go for an ad break.

    Henao poor. Dropped already with Mollema

    "Have we seen Quintana?"

    "I don't know is he there?"

    "He's not very big."

    I've discovered that Eurosport and ITV ad breaks are not at the same time, so when one goes to the ads I switch over...

    Wonder if anyone will stack it on the descent?

    Can't see anyway that the break makes it with just 2mins at the top.

    Barguil and Cummings would be a good double act. Barguil gets the Peyresoude points and Stevo the stage.

    Gautier banks it big time.

    Henao and Landa haven't been much help so far.

    Who was that riding up the bank?

    Me too.
    On the odd occasion they coincide, I go to Sporza. :wink::D

    They're having a discussion on Dutch Eurosport about riders who have crashed into cows on descents.

    Bit surprised the gap is dropping - Stevo looks like he's going down much faster than the rest.

    Stevo hasn't got enough here has he unless the favourites can't be bothered to attack but based on Sky's ride so far I think Froome is looking to get breathing space and kill the others off today.

    Now Uran is having a wee.
