Critérium du Dauphiné *SPOILERS*

Evans is well set-up for the overall win, if he has his mountain form. No surprise to see Martin win, and good to see yesterday hadn't taken too much out of Wiggins.

 

[Crackle]

Well, going on last years form, he won't hold the lead with 1'11" but if he's in the same form as the year before, he could do it.

Good boy Crax, a bit of optimism with a healthy dose of scepticism - beautifully British

...and if he puts the word "form" in inverted commas, he could add cynicism to the optimism and scepticism

I do each way bets as well

At least Wiggins is in Yellow at the moment and so that is something to encourage him and the team to keep trying. If he makes the podium on the final day then he will have done much better than I expected from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm also getting confused with all these 'isms' going around !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a cracking sprint today! Sky have been very consistent but no wins yet. We'll see if Wiggins can stay near the climbers tomorrow, I think he looks very good, his TT technique yesterday was just immaculate. He can try and do an Evans to well Evans - just follow that wheel.

Let's hope so. Degenkolb looks like a beast of a rider.

He does too. I think he could actually come round Cav. !

He looks like he could ride straight over the
Top of Cav, being about 4 times the size.

Doesn't he just? A real madman on the bike.
Shame for BH yesterday. Looked as if he'd got it, then The Beast appeared from way back........

Big day for Wiggins today and we should know a bit more about his prospects at the end of 3 Cat2 climbs and a mountain top finish.

It looks like some more super fast men lead out for cav!

Today's lumps - should be fun

You've got to wonder if Degenkolb is Cav's replacement in Stapeton's team - assuming Cav moves on for next season as was suggested as likely by one of the commentators (I forgot which)
