    Noone cracking at all. Times pretty steady, except Pinot taking 10s off TD.

    Even bonus seconds could be important here. 3rd or lower would be another few gone.

    I just don't understand why they insist on bringing on Carlton "Gibbering" Kirby for the ends of stages. It's so frustrating.

    Pinot's just giving TD something to chase.

    You guys all criticize Carlton which I guess is fair game. But drunken sailor Sean Kelly isn't much better.

    3:08 to Dumoulin. Going to be close by the end.

    So Froome effectively has around 3.26 still on TD assuming he wins the stage and TD doesn’t pick up any bonuses

    I'll go out on a limb and say TD will *just* be in pink tonight. Pinot is giving TD something to catch.

    This could be very close - tomorrow should be another cracker.

    Time gap error. Now back to 3:18.

    And can identify riders

    Kirby doesn't give a flying one about racing

    Don't get me wrong, Kelly isn't perfect. But at least he recognises most of the riders and doesn't just make stuff up when he fancies it. And can give some sort of insight.

    Kirby's commentary is just total nonsense most of the time.

    TD losing time. 3.18 to CF. Needs to bring another 20s back. Not gonna happen. Pinot is just closing up to CF.

    What are the intermediate sprint bonuses? Froome won, Tom 2nd.


    PS - Lopez goes. Told ya!

    3 and 2, so Froome gained a second effectively
