A welsh winner in a proper stage race!

First showing of sky in action in real hills this year?

Come on you lot. Get involved.

Surprised that no-one mentioned yesterday the surprise of Cavendish beating Wiggins in a TT! (rain affected though)

And it gets even weirder.
Sprint finish just won by the last person you'd expect.
Are Sky taking the mickey or something ?

I'm glad they've gone. They messed up the traffic in Lausanne something chronic for two days running, took me an hour to get home last night..:-)

Massively strong headwind in Romandie - Sky chasing escape at 20kms per hour! Can barely stand up, let alone ride a bike...

20kph!

Wiggo needs to get his hair cut. He's moving from mod into mosher territory.

Don't like bonus 10 seconds for a win.

Yeah that last descent looked fantastic.

It's still in wiggo's hands I'd say

Sanchez looks awful "pedalling squares"

Wiggo looks knackered, looks like he redlined trying to make up for the shufting incident, might be giving Tazzy his wonky ring back 🙂

Sanchez looked too awful, but then actually came in what 15th? not a bad effort given he won the last two stages.

contrary to the folks above not liking the time bonuses, it really does mean the contenders have to try rather than just sitting up and rolling in with the group.

good to keep folk keen i say. always a shame when a favourite has it stitched up from a single good stage win.
