Stunning.

In other news - I've had two weeks of holiday/hosting guests. Anyone have particularly good recap videos of the stages? Been reading Inner Ring's recaps but they're pretty sparse.

As ever, everything is here.

Lacets de Montvernier <3

Cheers - didn't know they had links to highlights, nor that ASO was doing official ones.

Today is quite short isn't it? Fireworks for sure!

Pretty sure it's an ASO race. It's website is a re-skin mini-site of letour.com.

It is indeed, but I didn't know ASO did daily highlights. It also means I could have been using the Tour ticker the entire time do at least keep an eye on the goings-ons. Love the tour ticker.

ASO are a bunch of amateurs

Eurosport fail.

Start coverage just after they climb Montvernier.

Pissed afff.......

yeah, WTF!!! just in time to hear about the iconic climb...or how it was...

Chris in yellow, Yates in white and Martin to win the stage!

Eurosport get their feed from the host broadcaster, so blame them.

Anyway, the reason the climb was in today was so teams can preview it before the Tour, when it comes within the last 10 kms of a stage so will be more decisive.

They were 30 mins late to the cycling compared to their advertised schedule, so probably not the broadcaster on this occasion. : /

Fingers crossed for Cummings

Froome looks tired

(queue Froome attack)

Poels starting to look more and more like Froome btw, efficiency of breathing head down is the reason why they stare at their stems so often, according to Dr Ferrari

great duel! spinner vs masher

Skelator looking like he'll take it in his typically gangly style...

It's not pretty, but watching Froome control his effort is impressive.

Fingers crossed for Yates

Yates will nick Tejays time bonus

Ooft. Yates yes, Teejay no.
