    Here are some nice profiles of the main helligen, as they appear, at the pointy end of the race.

    From now on I would like all my profiles presented in shades of beer.
    I'll make an exception for the Giro Wine Stage.

    Aaargh gone to check viewing timings and no satellite signal. Further investigation shows mating pigeons have snapped the LMB from the dish. Looks like its cold gruel and the spoiler thread for me

    What sort of time are we expecting the finish? About 3pm UK time?
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Not really. It was a fairly "gentle" crash and they were packed in like sardines at the time

    Been out for a bit of a leg stretch and got back just as they hit the first pave section.
    Nicely timed I think.

    So, according to Adam Blythe, WVA is riding at the front of the peloton.
    Not exactly “diamonds in his mouth” stuff.

    It’s at times like these I wish we were on CET not BST.
    I am gasping for a brew but it’s not yet midday here….

    Anyone watching on France 3 (I'm in France at the moment). I've got video and sound but no commentary?

    No, fixed it, something I needed to press.... and remember, in France I'm not going to have to endure the talents of CK.
