So cruel on Stuyven, but that last climb was a bugger. Sagan looked to have blown it, got to the front too early and still managed to go again.

48 secs lost by Contador after that crash yesterday isn't too bad as long as he can recover before next Sunday.

Just finished a 5000m and tries to get video up to see the end but just missed it and had to just be content with reading cyclingnews live.

Seeing Thomas lost some time, he crashed twice yesterday so again proving he recovers, not too bad.
Porte lost over a minute, don't see any explanation for that.
Reading Contador crashed again today? WTF?!

Porte had a puncture on a descent about 6km out, only 2 team mates left, one was GVA who wanted the stage win, so team mate stayed to pace GVA. The team van was too far behind so the neutral vehicle had to give him a wheel which the technician completely botched and spent *at least* a minute putting it on while Porte glared daggers at him. I think it hurt GVA too because Porte was pacing him too , and then GVA was left on his own shortly afterwards.

Thanks Chris, that makes sense as Porte's form has been decent up till now.

Porte was looking good, doing a lot of the work for GVA

Crikey 4th place in the Fetch league after today's stage. I don't have a single sprinter in my team...

Top 2 the same as yesterday, today's stage was quite a big factor in my Kittel vs Sagan choice.
