    How can 2 of the official tracking webpages (https://racecenter.letour.fr/#/stageprofile and https://racecenter.letour.fr/#/livedata?theme= both show different info - one shows NQ in the main peleton, the other shows him way off the back (presumably his bike is on a car?) Especially galling as the "live data" one seems to show the race progress better!

    Cracking to get back in there after losing the leadout man and clipping back in at 4k to go.

    Knew he would come good eventually :)

    All been interesting sprints so far. Am I right in thinking that's 11 different stage winners on the first 11 stages now?

    I rarely enjoy a sprint but that was a good one in the end. Roll on tomorrow!

    is that really Ewans first tour stage?

    You would be correct.

    TJV ran out of men just too early - massive effort by Theunissen, but just gave Groenewegen 50m too much to do.

    10 different winners in the 10 individual stages so far

    Ewan looks so happy. It's as if he has just broken the Guinness world record carp catch record.

    Damn, Ewan's low. Ewan saying he was at the back of the bunch after the off. Great ride!

    Yeah, you're right. He's not even a monster carp and he can still win.

    I just hope the ITV4 crew have better luck with their chips tomorrow?

    Guy on the right looks like he was just having a bath or something and is now trying to work out what the hell is happening here. Probably because Barry Chuckle and the woman from the Andrew Neill photo that Private Eye torment him with have rocked up with a massive fish. It's probably time to give up drinking, mate.

    You could say that Ewan's sprint was turbot charged.
