    Hmm. Quintana maybe a bit too confident. Nibali covered easy

    Why is van Garderen even still considered a GC rider?

    Nairo goes, only Nibbles and Peanut can respond

    Qintanas not that good is he
  • Nibbles looking comfortable, responding well to Quintana's attacks. How long until Pinot pops?

    Crash caused by a motorbike, Nairo's latest attack benefitting from drafting a motorbike. Coincidence?

    If it was a pantomime or Wacky Races...

    American market. That can be the only reason.

    Anacona's mullet is a shocker


    Once you have a name like his it all starts to go wrong

    Thomas would have been with them if the numpty hadn't parked his motor bike in front of 180 cyclists, the gap is staying constant or even dropping slightly.

    Go Nibali!

    That's why we never see Quintana doing this, he's a bit rubbish ;)

    If the time gaps are correct, Thomas is climbing faster than the leaders.

    I have some sympathy for Nibbles new climbing style here. This is exactly how I climb, just much, much slower.
