    Majka will go over the top first. Others dueling but no clear winners. Froome dangling again..

    This is entertainingish, but it's not tense to watch at all.

    Now, let's see what the descent brings :)

    So they catch Majka, he misses his breaks, does a Porte and knocks out Tom & Geraint, right?

    Thomas has spent the entire tour apart from the last few 100 metres of three mountain stages on a sky wheel or dumoulins wheel when the skybots are done. Racing smart and boring.
    he's looking very fresh today though.. racing with his head

    I think I've been for a nervous pee about 5 times in the last hour.

    Better out than in! :wink:

    This descent is worse than watching Daleks as a kid. I want to hide behind the sofa.

    Poor Nairo. Anyone know where Latour is, would love to see Bernal take white jersey (8 minutes a big ask though!)

    Still not sure how Thomas will go in the ITT. Hope he doesn't blow. TD will be strong. And who knows maybe Froome will have one of his amazing comebacks.

    Millar: Froome will lose time due to descending behind Zakarin
    Froome: overtakes Zakarin straight away

    I want to see Sagan come down this descent to make the time cut.
