    Listening to De Plus before the stage, the podium was their goal.

    Wiggins has slipped into Nicole Fahri, Sean into his Rasta outfit and Orla’s put some old work overalls like Ronnie Barker in Open All Hours...

    Oh Vincenzo,

    No matter how bitchy you are or how many comical ways you hold in to cars, I can't help but admire you.

    Fair play

    I am officially too old (Half age plus 7) to date the Tour Champion (should either of us want to)

    I am the same age as a certain Christopher Froome...

    Rubbish camera work, seeing Nibs gurn up the climb on his own and nothing of the GC group

    Not helped by crap tv direction that denied us the GC battle towards the end.

    Bit of a damp squib at the very end but a great stage.

    Terrified about the future of Bernal vs Froome when on the same team.

    Epic ride by JA. Big shame for JA and TP.

    Great ride by Nibs

    Not sure Bernal had much left today, looked pretty knackered at the end. G looking as he's just out on a club ride. We'll never know who would have won had the race gone the distance.

    it was a pretty decent stage considering the parcours.

    julian alaphillipe will never finish higher in any GT...discuss

    I’d say the Alps overwhelmed the Tour.

    Bardet hangs on to the King of Mountains. He’d probably just about scrape into the Top 10 French climbers in this race

    Movistar: Big names, small team.
    How do you miss the win, but get second and third? Their only "tactic was to chuck away Soler, instead of have him do a turn closing the gap.
