Group of 6 up front Bakelants bridged over. Then favourites 45 secs back with Froome by himself and 6 Movistar. Porte group about 1 and a bit minutes back.
Swap them out for cheap sprinters??
De Gendt makes a late sprint for the mountain points and catches out Rolland. Damn!! Good for drheaton though.

Mountain point group still ahead and S Clarke may have caught them up. Gap of a minute. I don't think they'll make it to the end, unfortunately.
Simon Clarke gone ahead. Gap to the yellow group has gone out a bit as they sit up for a short time: 1' 42". Porte still over a minute back, nearly 2 now.
De Gendt back in the yellow group. His sprint was funny as Rolland thought no-one was competing for it. I think things will be calm for a while until the last climb.
Hesjedal suffering. Starting to zig-zag but he does have a broken rib so kudos for being in the break at all!!
Clarke up front. Bardet, De Clerq and Rolland chasiing.
Hesjedal back in the yellow group. Movistar still setting the pace. Froome still looking ok. Valverde will have to take significant time out of him as Froome is definitely better in the ITT. I reckon Froome will stay with him but it will be an interesting battle. Quintana to sacrifice himself again? I think so.
Porte trying to get back on by himself now. Up to 52" down so making a great effort. Movistar will have seen him now and they've responded.
Lots of orange jerseys by the roadside. Can Euskaltel do something today?

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.
