Looking like a very nice/interesting move from Saxo this. All of them there for Contador bar Valverde and Cavendish and Sagan have somehow got in this break for the sprinters. Not sure how much the main field have left. Looking like a good finish.

Great move by Saxo, they are putting in a huge effort here. Valverde is Movistar mate, and his podium chances are ending on a flat stage, amazing.
I notice Tommy Voeckler is well down today. Saving himself for Ventoux on Bastile day no doubt.

About the 4th time this year I've mistaken Valverde for Saxo, i'll never learn.
Been a fantastic stage this at least they're making the yellow jersey a bit more interesting.
Can't wait for the sprint, Cav or Sagan? Come on Cav!

I knew Contador was going to pull something off before the moutains stage. Fair fucking play. if he can get a minute back on Froome is going to pull back a minute on a flat stage is just amazing if they time trial it to the finish looking good for Cav to have a go at the finish too. Brilliant stuff love this tour I do.

You fucking geeks :D
What a stage, topped off by Cav sailing home!
Awesome bit of team time trialing from Saxo. The fact that Cav, Sagan and Belkin also made the break suggests to me there was a bit of discussion within the bunch before the attack took place.
A mention once again for Thomas who was virtually Sky's last man standing. Does anyone else get the feeling that rather than conserving energy for the stages ahead Porte has actually just blown up?

Loved it :)
So happy for Cav, he is far from done, wait and see next year, he'll have Renshaw head butting everyone out the way for him again.
