TdF stage 3

Greenedge boss says Goss is aiming for stage win today! Last 700m at 7% - is he telling the truth or bluffing and hoping Albasini will slip under the radar? I was planning on bringing Goss in for Chavanel tomorrow - do I stick to my guns or make the change a day early?  39

Even Gilbert is at the back, with shoe problems  22

Valverde might not be so bad a pick after all if this carries on.

Rojas has abandoned, Cav has been dropped and Gilbert had a puncture and swapped bikes.

The Gilbert/Cavendish/Voeckler group is 1:10 down on the main peloton (yellow/green jerseeys) and a total of 2:40 down on the lead quartet. Looks like Gilbert won't be competing for the stage win today  19

Gilbert's group still 1 minute down on the main guys, sounds like Eisel is up in the front working for EBH today as Cav is in Gilbert's group.

10km to go, should be a cracking finish.

Albasini 5th! Got lucky there - if Gerrans had been in the main group it might've been him going for it instead...

1st and 4th, not amazing but could have been so much worse.

Wiggins only lost 1 second on Sagan, nothing on his major rivals, Froome lost another 2 minutes though so he's no longer much of a backup plan.

Fingers crossed for Brad - it definitely looked from the replay that the crash was to blame. He looked like he coasted in, assuming that he would be given the same time - hopefully he hasn't misread the situation...

Good finish for me - missed the break but got 1st, 4th and 5th, plus some sprint points from van Hummel and even 3 mountain points for Gallopin!

I think you have until stage 4 but I could be wrong.
