Ned Boulting talking up the chances of Turgis holding out for a win, with 44 seconds and 15.5km.

Is he the eternal optimist or just filling the silences?

Yates has now crashed

What a brutal last km for the bunch sprinters.

I’m in a different room with just a Freeview TV. I love Eurosport and Kelly.

Very surprised about how restless I became after 'you know what'.

That's going to take a little while to shake off - absolutely gutted.


And then there's this

Looking forward to the final climb tomorrow on Puy de Dôme, the equivalent of Ditchling Beacon x 7 .

Reminds me of the disappointment when the FIS screwed up to cheat Lewis Hamilton.

 

[Sirnormangall]

Gutted for Cavendish today, more so after yesterday

 

[Motogull]

That was a heartbreaker seeing Cav's face in the van.

 

[Machiavelli]

Cav

[Hamilton]

Still have that horrible feeling in my gut after yesterday. Gutted.

This last stretch of today's stage must be soul destroying. No crowds, and nothing in your ears other than the birds, the race motorcycles, the team radio and your own pounding heartbeat.

No near naked middle aged men.
No stuffed wild boar

I doubt I can find it on twitter now
Yesterday 3 fellas in mankini's jumping around as the peloton passed (not interfering) one of the riders clearly gave one of the lads a hefty flick on the bollox.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the moment.
