Froom/Martin/TJ up front, Martin going to launch it I reckon
Well hopefully ITV might manage 15 minutes without ads now
Roche and Thomas bring Froome to the front for the last section of pave
They're on to the final sector, Astana up front
[quote=mrblobby ]aracer... for the motor pacing, not the bike change.
obviously I missed all that, but it's normal and accepted to get a bit of a motor pace after a puncture.
Froome int he right place ip front, ready for the final run for the last 10km, Nibbles is attacking

It is, and I don't see anything wrong with it either. Though if he does get yellow tonight I suspect some will question it!
Stybar goes for it
Nibali rode the front, but now they're all going round him.
Froome going away from nibali?
Froome on his wheel
Cobbles done, 10km left
Done, 10km GT & CF popping out the front
Gee looking good...
G thomas dragging a small group w froome out front.
Thomas on the front, Froome on his wheel, not many with them
Field is blown
Contador gone, Sagan trying to bridge
Froome, Nibbles & TJ up there
Geraint Thomas, Frome, 6-8 riders Nibbles at back of group
😯
Bloody brilliant stuff lads..
😯
Can't get C'News feeds here in Work land..
GT steeping out, Froome leading 😯
Froom goes at 9km
Froome attacks! Trying to take time on Contador
WTF is Froome doing!
All coming back together.
Fantastic stuff , some big names in the leading group . I'd love to see Degenkolb grab the stage.
Leading pack relaxed a bit, main pack caught up
Breakaway caught, big names all in front group again now
They should do a big race 200km+ with lots of pave sections....in Northern France.....in the spring.It would be Classic.
is Degenkolb near the front? He hasn't been mentioned in any updates for a while.
Edit he just appeared in the list for the front group on letour.fr
Edit2 Cheers below anyway mrblobby!
is Degenkolb near the front?
Yes. Looks a good bet for the stage.
his names too long
could call it something weird like "Pareeeerooobay"
Degenkolb still in there, I think he'll fancy this.
approx 35 riders in front group, GT setting pace 6km left
shame Gee can't take a flyer.
Or do it in Belgium ....you could name it after a Simpson's character.
Time to pick a winner Gents.
Sagan for me.
Kind of hope Martin gets through, Sky lookin to control it from here
Crikey!
Having the main contenders, a set of all rounders (Sagan, Thomas, etc) and some sprinters in there certainly makes things interesting.
Cav in the front group
4.0 km left
Am I the only one here hoping Martin gets a bonus and the yellow?
Anyone going to call it
Sagan
Cav
Martin
Dangerknob
Looks good for Cav though surely - won't do his MV chances any harm given Greipel isn't in front group.
Panzervaggen LAUNCH!!
Martin goes 🙂
Those wearing white really showing how dusty the cobbles have been. TM has made an attack 3.2 km to go
can I say Martin now 🙂
Martin goes!
Martin goes!
Thomas still pulling on the front, Froome 2nd wheel
Yay, go Tony!
Cav 😯
Told you he can ride a bit on the stones...
Go on Tony Martin !!!. I't would be great to see him in Yellow.
Cav for me, with Martin placing 3rd to get the yellow...maybe
Cav really still there? Can't see him listed on the Tour site.
Eh, eh, ???
C'mon !!!
Martin goes long
GO ON TONY YER BASTID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No real incentive to chase from Sky or the rest of the GC guys
Looking pretty good, much chat in the bunch, no organisation.
He might just do it - who's going to chase?
1 km Martin leading
Gutsy to head out with a group that strong on your tail. Will depend if the group works together. Could be a good move by Etixx though: if he tires and gets caught then Cav is there for the sprint.
*grits teeth 
7" I make it at 1km
[b]5"-7"[/b] @ 1km
He's not even on his own bike! 🙂
Not even on his own bike - go Tony.
He's got this
Degenkolb surely has to go after him.
10" now - it's his surely?
Go on Go on Go on

I reckon 6" at the finish
crikey prob less than that, 3" ish?
Tony, Tony, Tony!!!!
Flippin' 'eck. That was a good one.
Bloody brilliant that!
I need a tea to calm me nerves now
WHO WON ?????
Nice!
