    De Gendt back in the yellow
    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.

    Simon Clarke gone ahead. Gap
    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.

    Mountain point group still
    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.

    Group of 6 up front Bakelants
    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.

    This is going to be a good day! Some real racing! Valverde off the front with another Movistar, Quintana, Rui Costa? Not sure. Froome chases on.

    Trofimov (Katusha), Hesjedal
    Trofimov (Katusha), Hesjedal y Danielson (Garmin), AntĂ³n (Euskaltel-Euskadi) y Rolland (Europcar) up the road with short gap, less than half a minute.

    Wondered which Euskaltel rider it would be. Anton a bit pricey for the risk though. Hope Rolland gets some decent mountain points today but doesn’t look like there are going to be any break wins just yet. Maybe in the Alps. Porte appears to be behind the yellow jersey group. Don’t know why as I’ve only just turned on the TV. Looks like it’s going to be a long day today. Wine and food with the Tour followed by another beautiful evening ride.

    No’ it’s not Anton. Even the Spanish site have got it wrong it’s Jon Izagirre. (114) I’m assuming with that that Steephill have the numbers right.

    I’m not surprised you’ve got Rolland. I think a lot of people will today. Not sure Nieve will do much today but he paid for himself yesterday as far as I’m concerned.

    Froome
    Valverde
    Rolland
    Nieve
    Sicard
    Serpa
    Le Mevel
    Gutierrez
    El Fares (who’s injured but will be out soon)

    3 wild cards: Sicard, Serpa and maybe Le Mevel given that Cofidis have done bugger all so far. Today is the first day a break could go away and I can’t see that happening again until next Sat or Sun as the sprinters and Sagan will shut down next week in the fight for the green jersey. Actually didn’t make a transfer for the first time in the Tour and after taking 60 points in penalties and today is the day my two-stage saving transfers strategy needs to pay off as I lost out not having Porte or Quintana yesterday. Still top 100 though, amazingly, so still in with a shout but I’m going to need 2 or 3 break artists to come off as well as avoiding silly mistakes. The ITT is the one stage where I’m not sure quite what to do.

    This is why I do not like Froome. He has no brains, this stage has breakaway written all over it, Sky should be on the front controlling the race, Froome has blasted his team out the water, idiot. Control the race FFS.
