    I’m assuming there’s absolutely nothing of note happening other than Dan going kamikaze?

    French Exchange student nearly hit the grass there.

    Is it just a Thailand specific thing, or do others get the disturbingly gross advert from healthnewstips today at the bottom of the forum?

    Maybe Bardet's aiming to crash with panache?

    Break is trying to bring back Majka, reckon Magnus Cort has a good shout. It's quite interesting but not exactly sizzling. Just what I need right now.

    I did a 10 mile run in 30 degree heat and followed it with a pint so sounds like perfect snooze viewing!

    Obviously JHB and Kirby haven't drunk Minervois La Livinière...

    Majka's lead is right down, chase group has a proper chaingang going. Will be game over soon, about 15s lead if that now.

    I've got an annoyingly persistent hangover. Had to get a train back up from London this morning, it was deeply unpleasant.

    Bardet's little downhill dig has dug Dan's grave.

    Very stiff crosswind on the bit the break is on. Could get exciting when the peloton comes through

    Swam a km in the harbour and ate an ice cream. Didn't miss a great deal.

    This break looks nailed on for Astana. Valgren tough to beat and Magnus Cort must be the fastest in a sprint by quite a long way.

    Danes are looking good in the cycling world at the moment. They’ll start getting booed if they’re not careful!

    Whatever is happening in the GC group, we ain't going to see it.

    It's a bit of a golden crop of young riders.

    Some sort of crash on the finishing straight for the rest of the break

    Howson down in a crash missed by the director.
    On replay, nasty.

    As for the GC groups, things have been happening but goodness knows what.
    Movistar at the head, Sky someway down.

    I know it goes against the standard perception that sport's only interesting when the result is unknown, but watching someone with a manifestly better sprint show that level of control before doing everyone else over is always a pleasure.

    I forget to add the team hotels in the OP.
    Quite important, as they will be the rest day hotels as well.
    Once again, the ASO don't do Sky any favours, but overall, this batch of hotels are best described as...........basic.
