Cycling 2013

Dan Martin comes in 2:40 down.

Is that respectable or disappointing? I thought the stage profile today was meant to suit him and climbing is a strength of his?

Thought he would do better today. Not a total disaster though. Evans, van garderen and Heysdal lost a lot more time.

Froome seems like a nice lad. But still are we just going to forget about the awkward questions.

He beat his prick of a cousin so that’s enough for me.

Do you think we need a separate thread for recreational cycling?

A more interesting story than the time LarryDuff beat his brother in a cycle up howth hill

Dunno. But himself and Porte were on another level today.

Dan Martin attacking early today. 2nd over the first climb with the peloton seriously stretched. Sky fragmented.

Go on Danny Bhoy…

Quintana is attacking Froome relentlessly.

He’s not far enough in front to stay ahead of the yellow jersey group on the descent, is he?

Probably not yet, but he doesn’t need a huge gap.

Dan Martin really going for it. 46 seconds. Superb stuff

35" second lead for Martin and Fuglsang with 16 kms left.

Come on Dan!!!Please keep updates coming!

Belkin leading the chase. Movistar look finished for the day.

30" with 12.6 km left. It’s come down 4" in last km. It’ll be tight enough. Can they stay away?
