If they were capable of independent thought, Voigt's legs would be looking at each other wondering WTF he thinks he's doing and just how long he thinks they can keep this up for.

To which there would only be one response...

And he's been reeled in by the Cannondale train who are trying - with some success - to drop the pure sprinters. Heck of a pace being set.

Smart move by Bakelants means he's the virtual yellow jersey, surely we'll see OGE joining Cannondale to make the pace even more brutal. Looking highly unlikely now that Cavendish, Greipel & Kittel will get back on the main group. I'm currently felling quite smug at swapping Cav out for Sagan in my fantasy team

They've given it up. Henderson went to the front of the group, looked around and seemed to say "nah"

And Sagan finishes it off. Disappointing celebration. Expected some actual fireworks.

So after Jensie's attack yesterday, here goes the tour's other serial attacker Tommy V.

Two weeks still to go, but is that the Tour over?

Wow, that was awesome racing. A bold (but ultimately flawed) move by Quintana & an awesome show of power from Froome & Porte.

What an effort by Peter Kennaugh though, he buried himself at the front to bring back Quintana and then left Porte & Froome to blow the field away on the final climb.

Worryingly that massive weapon Valverde is still there or thereabouts but Contador looked like he was really struggling with that pace.

Brutal day yesterday. Massively chuffed for Dan Martin and Garmin. If anything, it was more impressive from Froome than Saturday, going it alone for so long. Losing Kiriyenka is a huge blow to Sky, but does Froome even need him now?

That would be a no then.

On Saturday, I'd have said yes. After yesterday, it's more of a "yes, but...."
