Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

SKY sending Porte and Roche up the road to avoid having to chase... MTN looking at the Team award still then with 3 in the break.

P&P are saying its tactical genius of Sky to have Richie and Porte in the break...

Personally, I suspect that of a breakaway of 36 riders, they wouldn't have initially known if there were any GC threats in there?

There was a lot of chaos and breaks getting away and reforming, don't know if that affected things. This is where I'd like to be able to see coverage from the start - it all sounded highly entertaining and a lead-up to the current situation.

I think the whole Van Garderen group has caught up, not just Tejay

Yeah, I just wonder if he can collect enough without a stage win....

Movistar chasing Bertie. Looks as though they've split a group off the front of the peloton

TJ a mess

Bloody hell, I can barely stand upright when I get one, let alone ride a bike up a hill.

 

[HF2300]

For those not watching, there's now a big break, then a maillot jaune group of about 18 riders, then the peloton and a few stragglers off the back. No timings.

 

[tug benson]

Gutted for him...

Suspect not, he didn't collect all the ones available the other day and there are too many GC contenders to get in the way on the Cat 1 and HC climbs
