Now under 3 mins but with less than 3km to go. The peloton are really motoring now but they've left it way too late.

Nicely done. Chapeau De Gendt - and to Marmers for calling it in the punditry.
Feel sorry for Nathan Brown - no sign of him in the TV coverage until the peloton finally caught him and spat him straight out the back inside the final km.
Looked like Colbrelli led the bunch home ahead of... Dumoulin? or was it Viviani? - hard to tell with no commentary.

It was Dumoulin. Matthews next. And the QS rider wasn't Viviani, or even Gaviria, but Morkov!

Not a glorious day in the punditry for me - I went for a couple of wildcards in Dupont and Ackermann. Dupont finished 11 minutes behind the bunch, and Ackermann finally crossed the line another 22 minutes later. Brilliant. Back to the safe picks tomorrow, I think. 
I also thought about picking Cummings but he was one of three DNFs. Anyone know what happened? Was there a crash?

I know you're going for the Lantern Rouge, but I'm sorry but there's no points for this - not in this game.Not a glorious day in the punditry for me - I went for a couple of wildcards in Dupont and Ackermann.

Definition of a ramp today, but I've no idea how it'll shake out. The relatively constant incline will require steady power and benefit the TT specialists, although it's going up enough to give the lighter riders a sniff. I'd be surprised if there are many on TT bikes (prepares slice of humble pie).

Porte has just smashed it out of the park - beat Kruijswijk's time by 30 seconds.

Now Bernal has gone 18 seconds faster than Porte.

He's current Colombian national TT champion, for what that's worth.
