    To confuse things further, here in the Netherlands I saw highlights of the stage on Dutch Eurosport commentated on by the GCN guys.

    How many English speaking commentators do they need?

    CN says allergies / pollen issues for Chaves. Wonder whether some salbutamol might have helped?

    I like Chaves. He's only diddy and always smiling. Can't they just sit up for a bit, the gits.

    apparently chaves has a sore throat. must be pretty bad to result in this.

    hopefully he can grab some stages do a job for yates next week

    They could maybe have a go at Yates today, he doesn't have many team mates with him

    opens the race up....shame for yates and MS might be a telling blow.....very brave move to try and get him back in. can't have been an easy decision.

    Judging from the intermediate sprint, I wouldn't bother.....

    quite a lot...long stage guys coming in 20mins down should still be ok

    showing race winning mentality there nabbing those seconds... good to respond with confidence when his team has taken a knock.

    following the power readouts is an interesting add-on this year...not sure how accurate they are.

    TD's power output is insane to keep the same position to yates.

    yeah, a fair few... more than half the team...got to within a min at one stage then the sprinter teams helped out at the front to distance Viviani who was in the Chaves group.
