Do you mean how many riders get points? The first 15.

It's a shame Skoda still don't use this advert. I never got tired of watching it.

"Please retune to ITV4". Is it 1982 again, or something?

There has been a split on the peleton, Rodriguez is distanced by 55 secs!

Jens just barely hanging on now, come on!

Having seen what's happened so far, tomorrow could be a real shake-down.

I think he will give in when he passes this final summit.

Yeah, he'll finish 10 minutes down.

That's it, well done Jens, round of applause.

Looks like the stragglers in the Rodriguez group are going to get back on soon.

It was obvious he was only after the jersey, not a stage win. So happy he did it. The man's an utter legend

Would've been great to see Jensie in yellow. OK, it was almost certain not to happen, but one can dream.

Think they're the team that's had to change their colours as the normal team colours are Yellow, which the organisers felt was too close to the Yellow Jersey.

Indeed. They've obviously had to massively adjust the colour. Couldn't they have gone with blue? Still, I guess they stand out.

I like it. It's like those Stabilo boss highlighter pens - Tinkoff Saxo is the yellow, Cannondale is the green and Lampre-Merida is the pink.
