15:24 Porte and Cavendish in crash

The world champion has been caught up in a crash with team-mate Richie Porte in the feedzone. Both are standing again and Porte is waiting for a new bike from the team car.

Cav really suffered yesterday according to his twitter (puking on himself), so a crash is going to make him feel really down.

the next 43km was never gonna be his finest hour.

head down and trudge to the finish for the manx midget.

Eurosport commentator David Harmon thinks that Brad Wiggins is not looking in top condition today, but his co-commentator Sean Kelly thinks the yellow jersey is bluffing and has tipped him for a possible stage win today

Interesting.....

typical of harmon and kelly to disagree.

tho kelly is something of a prophet in my eyes, so i'd err on his side...

well for someone who should be feeling down he did a demon run to get back in to peloton then to the front and doing his stint for sky.

He is going to make a good classics rider i think !

there's quite a bit of chat about it in online commentary, I expect one person said it to try and build a bit of excitement and all the others have just followed...
can anyone who's watching the telly see if he is looking tired?

not many shots of him so far tbh. he's behind the whole of liquigas, and the whole of sky, who are behind a break of 7, another break of 5, and the costa.

looks comfortable enough.

Nibali to attack, Froome to pull Wiggins and take the win... See Stage 7.

2 mins plus to make up on valverde. i'd rather see tommy v make that gap, and him get the win.

I like that Kesiakov (sp?) puts his gel wrappers back in his pocket, not seen that before!

Polka dots in Paris for Tommy V then. Can't see Kessy getting away from the MJ group now they've caught him in the final climb.

Chapeau Tommy.

Sorenson's hand looks a bit grim. If he had a white jersey he could make his own polka dots.

If Froome goes to the front, will his earpiece fall out?
