    I was pretty confident about him. When I saw the second burst from him as Latour closed in, I reckoned he had it in the bag. Delighted for him.

    No harm. I felt bad for him, but that was taking the piss.

    If it wasn't his own team car he might have gotten away with it

    Looking at that, Dan never looked like being caught.

    Thats what I thought seeing that, Latour looked much closer than that in the head on shot they showed on TV. 43kmph near the line.

    Really enjoyed those highlights. Would love to see him make a break stick like that again in a later stage.

    Sky have been very quiet so far this tour from what I've seen. I wonder if it was froome rather than Thomas a few seconds down would they have been pushing a bit harder today...

    Just watching the 30 minute highlight show on TG4 that I recorded earlier. It took Roglic an age to get back going after his mini crash in the stage. He was so lax. It would have been idiotic if he had lost time today.

    Wonder will thomas ambush froome in the cobbles in sunday...hes been pretty vocal (as much as he can be) that he is not plan b, instead is a co-leader. He has form for cobbles as well i believe, more so than froome. Having 90s+ over him before the mountains would give sky plenty of awkward questions...

    Thomas' problem will I believe be bad luck. Giro and Tour last year then send him up the cobbles this year is asking for it. I'm no fan but I'd hate to see him come undone on the cobbles but I really think it'll happen given his luck.

    Shortly after Dan attached, Thomas was leading the chase and IMO he was going good. He then looked behind and pulled off to the side. I wonder did he get told to ease off the throttle as Froome couldn't stick with pace?

    No he said in an interview after he looked back and wasn't pulling them lads to the line, and rightly so I think given the gains on offer. Hard to say if he's got good form based on that but I suspect he does, he always looks ok early in the tour then bad luck and team orders kick in, which is why I'm thinking sunday will end his chances

    A good win marred by that awful zipless jersey.
