Well, now they've got Sagan back, it's all turned into a bit of a relaxing day out for everyone...

So who's going to win from the break today? We have Gautier, Millar, Peraud, Martinez, Kiserlovski. My bet is that, if they are still together after the final climb, Millar will try to escape about 3-5k from the finish, get caught and then Gautier will take the third stage for Europcar... but I have a feeling Martinez and Kiserlovski will both attack on that climb.

My money's on Millar.

They've just mentioned tomorrow's stage and the climb up the Mont St Clair. Jalabert said anyone who's never ridden up it and thinks it's going to be easy, is in for a big shock. ^_^

If Millar does win, that would be four British* stage winners in a single Tour. Four! Who ever imagined that would even be possible?

*Yes, I know. Leave it, OK?

That'll be everyone apart from Sky, then. #marginalgains

What'cha reckon? Sky doing mates rates for Millar?

I'd love to see him win, and I agree he'll probably attack early, but I can't see him taking the stage.

I think Wiggos break was nought more than a show of strength. Had the commentators bemused anyway. Maybe he just fancied stretching his legs! Dunno. I didn't see what happened, the cameras cut back to the fate accompli.
