I suppose until Martin doesnt sign on this morning he is still leading thus there is effectively no leader today.

[Joey Ramone]

Awesome, Cav

[S10GTA]

They've got such big balls

[Rolls]

Much better!!!

I think he's a bit of a grumpy arse, but boy can he move. Well done, Cav.

Good work by Cav, just right.

Would love Sagan to take yellow, even just for a day. The guy is brilliant, at the front in pretty much each stage so far and fights for a sprint finish with no lead out.

Great to see Cav taking a stage win.
Some serious speed in those last few kilometres today!
Sagan is incredible and only 24 as well.
Feel like he has been around forever.

I was surprised he still qualified for the white jersey as well!

Less of a twist and more of a wrap.

Rumours are that its down to a blood transfusion from a previous time rather than him snorting a line during the tour...

[Jonnny]

Yet again, Sagan at the front.. Even with Nibbles and Kwiato going backwards.

I thought traces of coke could only be detected by urine tests if it was fairly recently taken, three or four days max. I know traces can be detected in tests using hair samples for up to six months and beyond though, I'm assuming the UCI tests are just urine during competition?

Then again, if was as a result of a previous transfusion, that really doesn't look good for them either....

Tomorrow's team time trial should be interesting given that it's a fairly lumpy course with a testy little kick up at the end. My prediction is BMC to win with TJ in yellow by tomorrow.

Meanwhile down in Alpe d'huez people have started to arrive already to claim their spot.

[okgo]

Impressive from Sky, would have won if not for Roche dragging them down..!

[Ponk]

Yup, very impressive ride! Quite surprised by Tinkoff-Saxo though. Etixx really missed Martin too.

Times for the final 2kms of the TTT.
