    First time Ireland has had a green jersey since 1989 and no thread


    But I thought I'd throw this together


    Well done Sam so far

    Well done Sam!

    He's only the virtual leader in the points classification so hopefully he can get the actual jersey later on. If he won the stage that would be absolutely amazing!

    That commentator with Kelly is seriously preoccupied with beards.

    I think this is a good stage for Sam to target, he will feel pressure as he hasn't won yet but if there is no late breakaway he will beat Ewan this time

    He's fairly annoying. Gone over to ITV4. TG4 looks great in HD, but even though I'm trying to, I just can't understand the language

    2nd|30
    3rd|20

    As long as Sam finishes top-5 ish, and Sagan/Kristoff doesn't win, he should get the green jersey

    slightly uphill should favour Sam, I'd say.

    I think from Sam's perspective, it'd be much better if there was the usual small breakaway that would be caught with 10 km to go. The way it is now is making me feel on edge! Someone is going to crash or there'll be echelons of something!

    If there are echelons, Quickstep are masters at taking advantage of that.
    Unfortunately, so are Bora.

    A win today would put him in a serious place fo the jersey...

    350 points should win it this year...

    Sam is on 103 right now on the road... 50 points for win and 30 for second...

    I've learned plenty about wine, nougat and getting some nice shots of France, but that's all today is doing.

    What Bernie Eisel didn't show is a roundabout about 250-300m before the finish. It's a mess.

    Ok see him there now

    No chance for Sam there. Seemed to start far to back but at least he has a jersey
