Yes, massive wobble by Froome at 50kph playing with one of the Katusha riders.
Nibbles pushing on. Froome trying to stay on Gee's wheel.
Nibbles subtlety attacking I reckon, hoping to just ride off the front.
It's like a track sprint out there - elbows, shoulders and nobody giving an inch. Exciting stuff.
trying to split the front group GC boys all playing Sector 3 survived team mates dropping back
Two sectors left...

Into number 2 13.5km CF just got GT with him, Conti up the front
This is the long one!
[quote=mattjg ]Letting that team ride in yellow kit is really confusing the heli shots ...
Agreed - yellow jersey on the front. Oh!
Not sure why they've allowed it, ONCE always used to change to pink, unless they missed the heli shot issue, as it's not a problem from ground level.
Pinot dropping off
edit: got a flat
great feed lads
ty
Nibali, Contador, Quintana, Froome all still up there
Froome keeping placed and trying to be in the right place, the stage winners are getting ready....
You could always try http://live.cyclingnews.com/ which might be more comprehensive than us!
Pinot's lost a huge chunk of time and his temper by the looks of it.
Pinot back on the bike, he doesn't look comfortable at all.
out onto the tarmac top guys still there
Off the pave, all sitting up again. One sector to go
Good to see so much attacking going on this early! Great stuff 🙂
poor lad mechanic on the end of pinot's ire looked a bit sheepish.
Martin puncture, getting back on his team mates bike
will Vanmarcke go for a long one on the final sector...?
Hard riding, not so much attacking.
Oh dear, flat for Tony Martin.
Pinot having a paddy.
Martin swapped bike with team mate.
Pinot now looking for his toys
[quote=mikewsmith ]Martin puncture, getting back on his team mates bike
Thanks for the info, ITV on ads! 👿 Also missing the Pinot strop
Pinot's dummy has flown...
Pinot blockading calais and setting fire to cows.
Vanmarcke
Has punctured too.
hit the link I had above, the SBS one has no ads in the last bit
Sean Kelly: Pinot "creating a scene" 🙂
Martin and mates about to make contact again
Did anyone else spot the inboard brakes on that guy in green that got gobbled up by a load of riders on the cobbles? Quite surprised to see them on a bike in the TDF.
According to Dan Lloyd, Martin runs a right handed front brake, the opposite to most of his team mates, let hope he remembers this...
Tony Martin mechanical, swapped bikes
50 euro fine for Etixx and Tony M. I think they'll take that 😉

Thibaut Pinot's mechanic tonight at the hotel.

aracer... for the blatant motor pacing, not the bike change.
Froom/Martin/TJ up front, Martin going to launch it I reckon
Well hopefully ITV might manage 15 minutes without ads now
Roche and Thomas bring Froome to the front for the last section of pave
They're on to the final sector, Astana up front
[quote=mrblobby ]aracer... for the motor pacing, not the bike change.
obviously I missed all that, but it's normal and accepted to get a bit of a motor pace after a puncture.
