    Trek lose nearly a minute.

    Not sure it's Richie's year after all.

    Wiggins was good value earlier on the AG2R weaknesses. Maybe they could employ him as a consultant to work on their TTing?

    Folks appear to have realised that the Brits are the authority on TTing. Matt Bottrill has been working with Lotto Soudal and Dan Bigham consulted with Jumbo Visma

    Porte losing a shed load of time. Trek, for all the resource that the manufacturers have, are such a lightweight team

    Katusha go quickest at intermediate check.

    The caffeine in the shampoo is obviously having an effect.

    Targeting the stage and a day or two in yellow? I don't think they have a GC rider.

    Dowsett justifies his inclusion - excellent ride from Katusha.

    Sunweb with a TD would have crushed that.

    Red Lotto in bits, no doubt thanks to Tim Wellens propensity for attacking whenever possible

    Søren Kragh (Sunweb) well pissed off at the finish that somebody smashed it up a hill and cooked everyone.

    If a positive attitude is needed to win the Tour then Richie Porte is a Lanterne Rouge contender. Listening to him is like a cycling tribute to Joy Division.

    He didn't sound like someone who thinks he is going to win. A TTT can be a humbling experience but he sounded proper gutted

    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.
