    Sagan probably needs to move teams to get the support he deserves.

    That was what he was moving from canondale for.

    What did he expect joining a team with a main GC contender?

    That's why he moved to Saxo. I think the problem is that it's just not that easier to win

    Very impressive win - congratulations!

    Superb job from Sagan - not a climber but rode most of the climb faster than any 'sprinter' ever could, and rode it from the front. Brilliant descent, great effort. Lots of excitement for the fans.

    Bardet trying to jump out of the GC group, Valverde closing it down

    Cannot believe how some of these GC guys are still hanging in there. Unreal stickiness.

    Nibali's attack is unreal, off another planter, he must be heavily doping.

    Carlton Kirby says there's a GC battle developing (as we go into the Alps). Oh really?

    That paint job on nibali's bike looks like something off a hardtail from about 1995.

    Valverde goes!

    Froome doesnt have to take too many risks to hold onto either Nibali nor Valverde - plenty of time and mountain top finishes to come.

    Three Sky in the front group. All other teams have one.
