    Great to see Talansky showing form and has carried it from California. Should hopefully progress to a big ride in the Tour now, he's been banging in and around the Top 10 the past few years.

    Dombrowski impressed me yday... driving at the front a la sky to whityle the group down. Although he did the giro so not sure if hes going to the tour

    In terms of the tour, I still can't see Talansky challenging any of the top tier guys, i.e. Froome, Contador, Nibali, Quintana, and Aru.

    If he makes it into the top-10 that would be a fantastic result for him since he will be battling for those positions with the likes of Pozzovivo, Porte, Van Garderen, Dan Martin, Valverde, Purito, Gesink, Kelderman.... holy sh*t that's some line-up when you start listing out the names! :D

    Good result for TJ today, Geraint Thomas hasn't looked good in this TdS, nowhere near the form he had last year.

    And at the route de sud...
    Quintana wins the tt ahead of chavanel and erviti, after being in a 150k break yesterday. Ominous.

    Tomorrow's stage is 117km with 2 HC climbs, the second one summits after 100km. Two bonus sprints are in the valley between the climbs. With such a short stage it should be fast and furious, unlikely that a break will be let go with so much to play for at the top of the GC.

    Today's stage has been shortened to 57km due to bad weather. It will still feature one HC climb with a 17km descent from there to the finish. I can't really see the GC changing with such a short test.

    Is it just my imagination or does the commentator (not the Scottish fella) sound remarkably like Pat Kenny.

    The descent looks really treacherous. Weather is horrible
