    Voeckler and Barguil attack from the gun.

    Looks like a few trying to bridge, along with Rowe (hooray!)

    Don't think Stevo's going for it today.

    Is it Knees or Rowe?

    Bahrain Merida. Continuing the long lampre tradition of being totally anonymous at the tour...

    Fuglsang is going to have to abandon. Dropped already.

    Poor Birdsong. Pack it in now, mate.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Fuglsang off the back early on. Not a great day to be riding around with various fractures.

    Well I've read an article and written a paragraph about the ethics of triage this afternoon. I think that's about it for today. It is Friday after all, just don't tell Lord Adonis.

    I trust Rowe isn't going to do anything silly and risk his lanterne rouge chances here!

    All that effort and you look over your shoulder and see the bunch just behind looking like they aren't even trying.

    In fact, the finale in 2012 was played out virtually the same route as today. Sánchez attacked shortly before cresting the Mur de Péguère and he held off the chasers until the finish line in Foix.

    Nit picking I know, but he attacked a group containing Sagan on the run in to the finish, while the bunch got there tyres all punctured by tacks at the top of the hill

    I have a hazy recollection that LLS attacked just as Sagan was unwrapping an energy bar, catching him unawares

    I don't think Sky are being allowed to get a man away.

    What's Arthur seen?

    The inside of the team car, apparently.

    (he's abandoned).

    I might leave you to it, we're just posting the same things :)

    I have a load of quotes to review so I should probably do that.

    Or even a bike stand ...

    what is it with people insistant on turning their bikes upside down ... you don't turn your car upside down to change a wheel do you?!

    As soon as the peloton tries to sit up, riders continue to go up the road.
    Arthur must have had an appointment at the local tanning salon.
