I'd like Simon Gerrans to win today to make up for his accident yesterday.

Poor Netapp guy, picked up a ton-weight of bottles just as the climb started.

That Jenkin Road climb has got Sagan's name written all over it (or, dare I say it, Tiernan-Locke, were he not suspended currently).

There's a map on the official TdF site which you can zoom in to see exactly where the KoM and finish are:

I'm trying to picture where it is. When they showed Jill Douglas at the line with the Slovakians, it looked nothing like where I remembered near Meadowhall.

It's not at Meadowhall the shopping centre, it's on the road towards the city centre that goes past Meadowhall Retail Park, and stops pretty much outside Sheffield (Motorpoint) Arena...

Lucky we are not passing through Liverpool, that bike would have been long gone.

Now that the breakaways are almost caught, what price a Jens attack for the KoM points?

Tinkoff looking a bit feeble, if they can't get up a Cat3 in Yorkshire they're not going to be much use to Contador in the Alps.

Van Avermaet would be a good bet.

They were useless in the Dauphiné when Alberto was off at the front chasing Froome.

Not sure Vincenzo Nibali is a fan favourite but well done to him.
