    Confusingly the time gaps in the GC shown on the Tour's live stage tracker are the gaps as of the rest day, rather than as of yesterday. Great when they have the tech working...

    Luke Rowe will soon have lead the peloton over not one but two HC climbs. Sky aren't so much bossing anything as chilling on the front.

    To be honest, Thomas is the defacto leader of the race, so surely it's up to other teams to attack them? One thing though, it's boring as hell.

    Soler dropping back from break, Benatti goes to the peloton front and puts a bit more speed in

    It has to be up to Movistar to take it to Sky, otherwise what is the point in taking Nairo, Landa and Valverde?

    Cav getting dropped, 1:30 behind his 'helpers'. Looks like his DS has given up on him.

    Popping in briefly to say hello from the Land of Morse, the Bullingdon Club and well lots of clever people.

    I see I haven't missed much, jolly good, as you were.

    This is not how to do it, lads.

    Edit: I am behind.

    Valverde attack IS the way to do it.

    The tracker had him back in the peloton an hour ago. Was surprised he was still out there.
