That looked suspiciously easy for Nibali. Barely breathing.

I predict Alejandro Valverde is going to get plenty plates of soup spilled over his lap over the next 10 days after the way he treated the French hero today.

It wouldn't have been as easy had Froome & Contador been there & uninjured.

And we're off - Geraint Thomas trying to get into the break, so obviously Sky have given up on Porte now. Too bad for him, but it looks like super-domestique and 8-stage race winner is his limit.

Very long climb almost from the start today and people are already being dropped after a few kilometres with 170K to go and two more big climbs after this one
Could be a long day in the saddle with the prospect of being timed out...... There's also two long descents of about 30K each which should be exciting...... |

Was Geraint Thomas struggling on the final climb yesterday, due to his climbing ability to. or due to the work he previously did on the stage, or a bit of both.

Don't think we need to hear any more about Arnaud de Mare's digestive problems, if it's all the same to you, lads.

I wonder if Bradley Wiggins is laughing right now thinking he could have been winning it if he took part. Through I think the commonwealth seems to be important to him and he wouldn't have been able to do the track events there.

Powerful ride by Rafal Majka, pulling away from the yellow jersey group as they dragged everyone else in the break back. Valverde just survived in second place. It did not kick off until 4km out but worth the wait. Nibali looks indestructible against this field.
If Brailsford wants a French rider for future Tours, he need not look further than the youthful Bardet. |

Is this Tour Nibali's to lose now? Not sure there is anyone really trying to take out his lead. A few stage wins here and there should keep a nice gap until the ride into Paris

It's been Nibali's tour to lose since Sheffield, in my opinion.

Pier Rolands style reminds me of the way Brad rides. |

Valverde says he lost time at the end because a clash with Pinot damaged his derailleur.
