    To say this Tour has been boring in parts, some stages have seen absolutely amazing racing. I can't believe Froome got back on there, a dropped rider when a team is smashing it up front usually only goes one way, but that was seriously strong. He had help yes, but you have to have the legs yourself as well. The other GC contenders must be wondering what they have to do to get rid of him.

    Dan's turn to attack, not sure on the flat into a headwind is the time.

    Dan Martin might just be my favourite rider at the moment.

    Mollema looks a bag of s**t on the bike but I hope he holds on.

    Landa doing some c*ck waving

    Froome not on Landas wheel. He's 5 bikes behind, quite a gap.

    They tried, he was miles back with Bardet's entire team smashing it and they still couldn't drop him.

    Great ride by Dan, I got that wrong. Lucky to have Geshke and De Gendt to help him.

    Cracking stage, they ought to use the Massif Central more.

    Big effort from the MJ for landa, I'm not really sure why.
    Good work from Martin, what might have been without the crash.

    Took a while to properly kick off, but that was good fun. Don't really understand the hate for this year's tour - it's had some brilliant stages so far.
