Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

Richie Porte is not there. I don't think he is good enough to be a GC leader

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

The groups are changing and regrouping so often that it must be impossible to keep up. This is crazy racing. I love it.

There was also a big chunk of time when the Tour ticker / race radio must have been getting no updates as they had no timings and the front groups missing

I just searched the tracker for Porte but they're not receiving data for him.

EDIT: he's back and transmitting from the green jersey group.

Just a thought but could he be saving himself for tomorrow as those who have eyes on the GC, won't have any other chances.

Also, you never know when Froome may need a gel from the team car going up Alp d'Huez

For me this TDF is all about G getting that 4th place now and maybe 3rd if something crazy happens.

But this stage is looking to be a classic.

Green jersey group isn't now, given Sagan's jumped back across to the Froome group, which has now split so there's a 19 man breakaway again.

proper paceline in the gruppetto.

 

[biking_fox]

Brutal start from Contador and Nibbles. Sky are going to hurt today, with tomorrow still to come.

 

[coffeejo]

Ooh, random fall.

Is it me or does Teklehaimanot have an odd posture on the bike?

He looks fine to me. Well, apart from his feet being a very long way away from his thighs.
