    Front 4 have apparently got nearly a minute on the rest of the bunch. My PTP pick is in there so they will be caught.

    Was a nice little move by Trek to let the group of 5 including Skijns to roll off the front going through a roundabout. Astana rider got dropped and the other 4 now have 1:50 and 4:50 on the peloton.

    Jack Haig was the Bahrain rider who head butted the tarmac.
    He's still in the race though.

    Answering myself - Tonelli got 3rd in a climby stage last year.

    Skujins has a bit of form on a hill.

    Skijns and Berwick probably need to lose Denz before the top.

    Not quite sure what Jumbo’s tactics were today. I guess in the end the two up front haven’t had to work too hard but Kuss in particular as some work over the next week.

    Yes, as the Belgians would say 'where is he going'? Certainly not to the front.
