    Exactly what I thought and pretty sure Millar was seriously tempted to say the same. There was a definite pause before he spoke again after Boulting said it.

    Ned mentioned Fuglsang comments on Aru. He didn't go into them so I guess they weren't complimentary. Any idea what Jakob said?

    Didn't like it when Aru attacked the yellow jersey group on stage 9 when he was up front.

    But... but... but.. it's an unwritten rule you don't attack in the feed zone... haven't they read the unwritten rules?

    Wasn't an official feed zone was it? If it wasn't there's no issue.

    Not going to happen is it? No one seems to want to push things.

    Trouble is it’s a three-quarters headwind. Would need to be strict crosswind or partial tailwind to kick things off. May yet happen in the later parts of the course.

    The section I identified hasn't come yet, there's a few teams grouping so I haven't lost all hope yet.

    Uran and Martin looking slightly at risk if anything does happen. Normally on a day like this I'd fancy QS to work well for Martin but they've obviously got a few problems with Kittel out the back and losing riders.

    That said Sky losing position on roundabouts too.

    Change of direction and a small climb, Sky hit the front.

    This is where I thought it was going to go, looks like Sky identified it too and have moved to the front.
