    What I'd like to know is how can dastardly be in Kilkenny & Galway at the same time. Maybe he's the man who can put it up to Froome.

    Marginal gains! :cool:

    Dan is at the back of the peloton... but not sure if he is in trouble, or just looking for the team car for a bidon.

    I thought one of his many fantastic team mates would get the bottle for him.

    Okay Dan is now wearing a gilet/jacket, so hopefully that is why he was at the back of the peloton.

    Pierre Rolland lost grip on the corner of a descent and has had a nasty fall.

    The TG4 lads love giving the distances in 'sean airgead'. It's possibly their most insightful contribution to the commentary :rolleyes:

    BMC domestiques asking Astana to slow down the speed of the peloton.
    By the looks of it, Astana told them to shove it.

    Good! If you crash, tough ****. It's a mistake a lot of the time, so you shouldn't get away with it.

    Porte has 3 team mates with him. They are just making their way through the cars now. The pace is very high. It doesn't look like Porte fell/crashed, he has no torn clothing or road rash. So maybe just a mechanical.

    Even less reason for the rest to slow down for him.

    What have Astana achieved today and what are they hoping to achieve? The entire Sky team has sat in Astana's slipstream all day and they're still there with them coming towards the final ascent. Rui Costa might hang on but can't see past Froome again today, he's had an armchair ride courtesy of Astana.
