You can't do around getting rid of grass verges. They provide much needed parking space.

Cycling infrastructure does not force drivers to break the law, drivers are the reason they break the law, no one else.

Mountain points
S Clarke
Rolland
Bardet
De Clerq.
Bakelants
Castroviejo
Jon Izagirre and Anton are the Euskaltel riders in the yellow group. No Nieve.
Serpa in there. Could the old man do something? To be honest if he's in the top 20 I'll be happy. I like the Colombians. I teach a few of them and they are a very nice people with a pleasant soft accent (in Spanish).
Clarke, Rolland, De Clerq and Bardet back together.
Voeckler and Schleck in the yellow group along with most of the favourites. No Pinot or Niemiec. Vichot there for FDJ, Serpa for Lampre. Mollema and Ten Dam for Belkin. Commentator says Nieve is in the group but Tour de France live say J Izagirre.
Looks like mountain point group will be caught soon.
Bardet goes.
Rolland back in the yellow group.
Anton off the back of the yellow group.
De Clerq and Clarke caught.
Porte group over 4 mins back. That won't do my purist team any good.
Bardet nearly caught.
It is Jon Izagirre in the group but he's going backwards. No Euskaltel victory today.
No, there are some Euskaltel jerseys still in there. One near the front.
Quintana goes Froome follows.
Dan Martin goes. Fuglsang.
An Euskaltel. Now Quintanba again. 4k to go.
Quintana again. Euski caught.
Schleck right up there.
15 in the yellow group now with Fuglsang and Martin in front.
Things slow down; riders get back on. Serpa near the back.
I think I saw 116 which is Nieve. Yes, it is.
Not quite sure what Martin and Fuglsang are playing at. I think Valverde is happy to have Quintana put Froome under a bit of pressure but there'll be a group of 20-30 at the end. Valverde will be happy with second and Porte is too far back now to catch up on the ITT. Not good for my purist.
Poels on the attack.
Nieve well up there, who can sprint? Valverde? Evans?
Damn it i dropped fuglsang today for talansky
Schleck gets 1 mountain point.
Kwia still in there. He could sprint for the win.
Balls, it was going well until Kwiatkowski jumped off the front.
Rui Costa in there. Got him in my roaduk team. Could be sprint between Rui Costa and Kwia.
Fuglsang and Martin at 40" with Kwia chasing. Nieve still in the yellow group.
