I'm sure Nibali moved over on Wiggo when Froome went past and Wiggo followed when they caught him.

good to see BMC have given up on cuddles and let teejay van garderen go - very good young rider there being held back by cuddles on previous stages !

Easier to open gaps from the front when descending. Going on the front is the best thing for him to do, for Wiggins.

Considering Europcar barely made it into 2011 after BBox pulled out, I think they do an awesome job. Their Colnagos are beautiful in the flesh too; quite fancy a team colour C59.

TV rode without one, hence the constant looking around and talking to team cars and camera bikes.

Brilliant ride by TV, became a fan last year after seeing him trying so hard to keep yellow, and reading about his loyalty (took paycut to stay with the same team, turning down bigger paychecks elsewhere, when it was his presence in the team that secured the Europcar sponsorship).

Was good for waldorf and statler to shut up for a few seconds so we could hear the crowd go mad as TV crossed the finish line. Apparently TV was first over the final climb of Col De Super Bagneres; the Bruce Forsyth of cycling couldnt even remember which bloody climb they were on ๐Ÿ™„

Tommy V's Colnago with shallow rims and gumwall tyres is the best looking bike in the peleton

did anyone else spot the look between Wiggins and Froome on the last Nibs kick. Froome was overcooked so Wiggins covered the move. Nice teamwork!

And did it quite comfortably in the end.

Was it a look that said 'I can't do it this time', or one that said 'he refuses to listen to me, you'd better go and tell him he's wasting his time'
