    Lets see what type of a descender he is, no chance of him staying away but you can always dream as the peloton have still not woken up.

    Bunch are starting to ride now. Cross winds ahead maybe?

    EDIT: Well that was a whole pile of nothing. Ended up bringing the break back with 75km to go.

    The commentators are struggling to hold it together, 27km left and it is incredibly uninteresting, no more climbs or anything. I suspect bar the last km and the A4 style sprint, nothing of note left to happen.

    I thought that donkey was in serious trouble, but he seems to have allied himself with the bullocks.

    They could just play some cool music and head off to the bar.

    Rob says that it is the most exciting stage he has ever seen that has no racing.

    Right.

    Why doesn't someone have a go???


    Have it on silent in the background but it looks like a neutralised stage?

    Crash has delayed some riders, looked like 4 or 5 from team sky and possibly Capraz caught out

    Dunbar was in that group behind the crash.

    Just turned on 5 minutes ago, looks like I missed the boring bits as quiet exciting now!

    1.5 minutes lost for Tao G Hart and 4 other sky riders, crash outside 3km safe zone but then again froome pulled back nearly 4 minutes so not ruled out yet!

    he completely drifted from his line in fairness, went right across the road

    I think if I closed my eyes I couldn't tell the difference between Brian Smith and Greame Souness - their voices sound identical to me.

    When I was watching it I thought Viviani blocked that guy and would get penalised, but no one mentioned it on Europsort. So then I just assumed I didn't know enough about the intricacies of sprinting. Italian fans will be furious.
