    Same corner it looks like. Eurosport reckon there's sand on the road, possibly because of an oil spill, or it's just the wet patches catching them out.

    Fantastic timing by ITV4, go to ads just before it happens. Just as well I'm a station whore jumping from one to another.

    Eurosport Player is much more stable on IE than Chrome or FF.

    It's based on Silverlight (spit) so I guess it ought to be.

    Also, Sean Kelly just said "cow shíte" on air.

    who cares about a timesplit to a grupetto of sprinters on a mountain stage ?

    edit looks like Gesink is in that group now. hes been struggling all tour. I sense LL Sanchez will be new team leader after this stage.

    If you have Sky sports at home, you can watch it on up to four laptops with the Skyplayer. Eurosport is included with this. It's perfect.

    ah fcuk I didn't know Eurosport was included with Skyplayer.
    I needn't had bothered with subscribing to Eurosport player for the month!
    D'oh!

    His Director Sportif hinted he was in a bad way to letour.fr early in the stage so not a big surprise.

    ya, would have been great to see him at tour! but he'd only be there for a stage win or domestique and if garmin don't have any serious GC contendors then what use is he?

    HTC are always caught between the Cav-express train and GC - seems martin & velits did too much work on the front the last week
