[Tyrone Biggums]

Wiggins can't lose this tour. Bar falling off his bike he's home.

 

[Triggaaar]

And you're pretty thick if you think I was being serious.

It's impossible to tell with you.

Lead group of 25 and none are in my fantasy team

Only four left out front, peleton will desend fast, will Cadel have a dig near the top and then desend like a Rock..

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Thats 4 chasing Sanchez...

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Come on Thomas get over the top first in this group and the Polka dot could be yours tonight

 

[Stat Brother]

Oh I forgot I'm 20mins down, playing catch up through the adverts.
Tommy V has just set off after Sanchez, in Stat World.

Hurry up we are flying down the decent already

I reckon Jens Voigt will be kamikaze decsender

Nightmare for Wiggo losing Rodgers with that puncture, looks like Nibali will attack on the final climb, only needs 30 seconds to get second place in GC

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Nibali now linked up with Sagan

 

[Triggaaar]

Nibali caught

This. I'm watching it with no sound!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

4 leaders riding in for stage win, Jens in pursuit. Thomas V has King of Mountains jersey.

Nibali attacked on decent and last climb, Sky chased him back. Van Garderan trying to get back to peleton to keep white jersey.

Sky easing up as all major threats controlled

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Come on Jens.....

 

[Triggaaar]

Now 5, 3'34 ahead of yellow

 

[Simster]

Jens has pretty much caught them hasn't he?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Jens has pretty much caught them hasn't he?

Yes he tried a quick dig but Thomas pulled him back.

The leaders have slowed trying to work out when to attack to win stage. Jens flys again...

Radio shack now working at front of peleton to preserve their General Classification standings over two breakaways Rolland and someone.
