    Sagan looked supremely comfortable from 2km out, let a few wheels go when Phil went and then just rode back into it on GVA's wheel, not seen many stage wins look so easy in such company

    Gilbert 3rd and Valverde 4th.

    Everyone forget that that actually is a ”Sagan Finish" cos he wins in so many other places too...

    Great finishing there.

    I still wonder how Carlton sounds like he's never seen a bike race before.
    He's a like a goldfish.

    Presumably that means Gilbert has gain two seconds on GVA? (+4s -2s)

    The first 38 riders all on the same time. Everybody who is anybody is there.

    Sagan's English has really improved.

    You get to glue some magnets to your nose though.

    Big name abandon: Michael Matthews - sick

    Bit of a surprise, he was going well in the TTT on Monday

    Not much of a surprise, I picked him for PTP! I hadn't realised he abandoned and was starting to wonder if I'd picked a rider who wasn't in the race which would be a new low even by my PTP standards.

    Cav must be way Back. The 17 minutes group with Greipel is in but he's not.

    Edit - he's in 21 mins down.

    Tom Skujins (Trek) does enough to claim the mountains jersey for tomorrow

    Not unless Chava drops 8 minutes.

    While they both had four points I think two cat 3s trump one cat 3 and two cat 4s

    was that G just behind the sprint but in that first group? If so that was some grimacing he was doing. Good effort :)

    If they're level on points I think it comes down to GC time though, that's what has been banded about?

    Although that doesn't seem to be the case unless Chava really did sit up, as Skuijns is in polka

    Chava actually finished ahead of Calmejane, only a minute and change down.
    So the GC has nowt to do with it and it is the third cats trumping two-fourth cats.

    So I went to watch the highlights of this stage on ITV Player last night and this is the picture they had against the highlights programme.

    Idiots.

    I won't be using that service again.
