    Colombia down to 6 riders early, they will lose more and more time as the stage goes on.

    Rain starting to come down, Orica and Tinkoff get a bit of an advantage if it continues to pour down.

    Roche and Majka could benefit hugely from these weather conditions. Katusha and Movistar way down at the 1st intermediate.

    No he was in the group of 4/5 that were tailed off a bit. It was a sloppy finish by them.

    Still not a bad result from Tinkoff though.... Only 23 seconds behind Orica.

    Had a little nibble on Lotto to get top 3 at 25/1.

    That went well.

    A lot of the road still looks to be in awful condition. I can also see why CI need so many marshalls, having to control the crown all over the road is a tough job.

    That final stretch is getting as tight as a mountain stage!

    I think the team would have found it hard even without the rain as the roads are very heavy esp for climbers

    That corner is causing some big problems, think the fact that it is essentially blind cause of the spectators and the island which they might forget about isn't helping.

    Its interesting switching between the two, eurosport are definitely concentrating on the sport itself and BBC are showing off the event surrounding the sport.
