    Bring back the 1980s. This isn't racing at all!

    The peloton is still huge, so they obviously have been taking it handy. Hopefully it should speed up soon.

    Where are Kirby & Kelly gone??
    They haven't been commentating for the last while. I know they got a crap lunch bag... a baguette, kiwi and a small chocolate bar.... maybe they are gone to the nearest restaurant for some grub :D

    The ads on ITV aren't a patch on Eurosport. Charities and financial services, no craic. Where's the Skodas and holidays to war torn countries :(

    What they lack in quality, they make up in quantity

    I'm no tour expert but Kelly & Co seem very sure that Sky and Movistar will still challenge at the finish today. The gap is still huge and there are some very good climbers in the breakaway. Can they reel them in?

    I don't get why the commentators on Eurosport are saying Quintana has to make a move today. There are 2 weeks left FFS.

    There's an Irish rider in contention, that's pretty 1980s.

    Is Dan in the group with Froome, can't see him and Kirby is no use.

    Edit. Yes he is.
