    Now, will the 3 kms rule apply or was that a catagorised all the way to the line?

    My pick for the stage was nowhere and my GC pick finished 17 mins down. Was an out there choice but that's just unfortunate!

    Unfortunately Hatch had no idea it was Laporte either in fact he never even mentioned "the Cofidis rider" but kept going on about the first, second and fourth riders.

    Hatch was drugged up on PEDs today according to himself.

    It was hard to make anyone out from that footage in the last km to be fair. I'm assuming there still hasn't been a photo finish picture with the lines added?

    I've looked at this ten times. I can't seperate 1&2. Shurly a dead heat?

    Methinks the home jury had a little to do with this...

    Brian Smith joked about it, saying it's photo finish but where's the finish line?

    Gawd this is painful in more ways than one, today.

    Indeed. That's his bit. He prefers longer sprints.
