    15 Gaviria
    9 Sagan
    7 Kittel
    6 Groenewegen
    3 Cavendish
    2 Demare, Greipel, Matthews
    1 Colbrelli, Kristoff

    Just realised I didn't pick anyone so I'll get the same points as I did when I did make my selections!

    has anyone watched any of the moto bonus coverage?


    Is that Motoman doing his deliveries? Surely all WADA need to do is look at the footage to see who the recipients are?

    way he sprints, not liked in the peloton it was quite blunt, Fair enough, bland commentary is pointless. :)

    It's days like this I'm glad I actually have work to get on with.

    There's really no need for comments like that. I'm desperately and unsuccessfully trying to use this stage as a displacement activity.

    Peloton have slowed down again after speeding up for no discernible purpose earlier. Must have been one of those indeterminate sprints.

    Probably going for the 30 signs going into one of the villages club run style.

    Can't blame them for doing something to shake things up. DS probably wouldn't be too happy with a cafe stop though.

    Claeys may have made a bad miscalculation in his fight for the lanterne rouge here. Time to the break is coming back a little slowly, he may not have much ground left to drop back into when they catch.

    He also cocked up the bonus sprint by accidentally taking the full 3" No doubt he'll be having words with his teammate. It's those small margins that could be expensive in the long run.

    And when the sprint teams just assume that there will be a bunch kick. Ag2R and BMC on the front

    Was it something along the lines of "what are you skinny French fellows doing up here" from the QS boys?
