Looks like they have to ride back down...

Sky not got a helicopter lift today?

Strange how froome is the only one to deck it.

Not really-he stacked it twice when he won the Vuelta and I think in the Tour last year too? Not unusual for him anyway!

He obviously needs a spot of cycle training.

I wouldn’t do the top tube descending thing if I was as a bad a bike handler as he is.

Tomorrow’s finish looks fucking punchy at the end of 230km. Rest day the next day too so hopefully a big shake up on GC.

Meanwhile in France, Andre Greipel wins the 5th stage of the Four Days of Dunkirk solo!

What’s with the Vuelta Aragon rap on Eurosport? It kinda bangs!

Technically any win is solo ;)

Pardon.

Has the sound gone all weird for everyone watching Eurosport?

I’ve just got a black screen at the moment

There's an ad break now, it went to black screen, then a shot of the finish, now they are broadcasting through a walkie talkie.

They just said that it is bad weather which is messing it up so I can stop smacking my laptop.

Yep

bad weather? L'equipe's coverage is pristine...

Is Sean Kelly saying ‘Michelin Scott’?

Yes he is.

Great effort by Masnada.

I think the GC group is going to poo on his parade but I hope they don't.

He’s properly rocking now. Massive effort.

Carlos Betancur still in that front group.
