    Shouldn’t Yates be up riding with his team mates? The last Sky man could let a wheel go and cause all sorts of panic

    Sky only have Yates mates and a couple of EF riders ahead, so they couldn't cause a proper split unless they were thinking of holding off the entire peloton.

    It would force Yates to ride hard for a bit though.

    No respite in the first 110kms and now 4 climbs stacked up, one after another.
    It's another full on GC day, folks.

    I got in from my ride, turned the TV on it was lovely and sunny. I cam back to the TV after making some lunch and now it's raining.

    Not on mine. I've got someone else on my English language on TV. Boooo! But I've just picked a non-Dutch feed on my Eurosport player and I've found Bernie. How many English language feeds do they have? Multo confusing.

    Yup. He veered right to the outside of the corner earlier, and I honestly thought that was him pulling up and climbing off.
