Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[HF2300]

Think a lot of Sky are in trouble, Froome only seems to have one or two guys with him

Looks like G is in trouble?

It showed G as 32'' off the front. I'm not panicking yet. Crazy start to a race though.

This is a perfect day to be covering the race from the start. Fantastic!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

They're all taking the descent very gingerly. Regrouping time.

 

[HF2300]

Sky accelerated and Froome got across to the Contador - Valverde group, who hadn't made it to the breakaway that I could see; but the acceleration's really split up the yellow jersey group and a lot of riders are off the back including several Sky men. Meanwhile Nibali and Purito attacked over the top of the climb and split up the breakaway. Purito, Nibali etc. in the lead.

What @smutchin said. Fantastic.

ITV have no group times up? What's going on.

 

[coffeejo]

The last week or more has been brilliant. (Looks like G is catching up.)

 

[HF2300]

Now Uran and Bardet on the front - where did Bardet come from?

 

[coffeejo]

Bardet's flying again.

 

[HF2300]

I wish they'd stop repeating interviews when I'm trying to work out who's where

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Bardet's career is really going downhill....

 

[coffeejo]

Bardet's career is really going downhill....

*passes coat*

ITV have no group times up? What's going on.

I think we've got Bardet out in front, the Uran, then Froome's caught the breakaway so there's a big spread out yellow jersey group with all the GC in at 30 seconds, then a whole bunch of stragglers

 

[HF2300]

Incidentally Purito took the KOM points

 

[HF2300]

Rolland and Rodriguez 10 seconds off the front of the bunch
