    If Pinot thinks he needs to gain time on Pozzo then he is right to help out - if, however, he ends up losing time to Lopez and Carapaz then it's not such a good move

    if this works out he should have a smug face, this has been obviously planned

    The whole Reichenbach thing has looked counter-productive for 40 km now. I guess the insistence on hanging around for his feeble help shows that Dum is properly wrecked.

    I'm not sure today's stage is paying any attention to 'should'...

    Dumoulin and Reichenback taking turns. Looks tangibly slower when Reichenback is on the front.

    Just who is that rider coming up behind - because that looks like Roche! That looks like Stephen Roche... it's Stephen Roche!

    Can Dumoulin do a La Plagne?

    He's getting more help than he could be so he should count himself lucky. The final climb however I think he'll be on his tod

    Dumoulin's been a bit whiny in groups recently.

    Needs to sh*t or get off the pot - it's do or die time for him.
