    Unmarshalled, unguarded kerb & sign could've been nasty there.

    It's towards the bottom of the list of things I can muster up any feelings about, but it's been a pretty slow stage so far!

    that israeli feed is better vid quality than the virgin online app too!

    I paid for Eurosport one year but had to watch the French version. They didn't even show the Giro! Snooker instead, without sound :(

    It's much better isn't it.

    Not sure when Kirby went off, I'm in a cafe so have had it muted until now.

    I'm the one on the way to the airport today, so would appreciate updates. Consider it giving something back.

    Plaza keeps attacking, thinning the break a lot now.

    Lols Aru is off the back.

    Looks like he's doing it on purpose though.

    Not really, the 3-4 guys in the break attacking each other has been quite fun though.

    Good timing ATC. Breakaway is on the slopes of the climb and breaking up. GC fun yet to come, peloton is over 13' behind.

    This is in danger of being a non event, 2.9k to go and yawn yawn.. not a single attack....
