Tomorrow the perfect stage to have a sleep. Then comeback in the last 5km to watch Greipel beating Sagan on the line.
this hole tour has been 1 big sleep,worst for some years .
From a purely racing perspective, I found last year's way worse. 2010 wasn't much better than this, and 2009 was an incomparable snoozefest.

I completely disagree. Yesterday I was watching some stages from last year and I found it much more interesting. There wasn't only 1 team always setting the pace  . |

Last year's Tour was the most boring Tour I've ever seen. This one is way better.

Yes, if you watch only the last 3/4 stages. Now go watch the stages in the Pyrenees. Biggest yawnfest ever.

I agree with that but still it was better than watching this Tour. Always team Sky everywhere! I fckn hate Wiggins. Seriously! I'm not a Froome fan, but I think that he is wasting a chance of a lifetime to win le Tour. because of Mr.Sideburns. Just idiot.... Because of that we aren't seeing a much better show |

Sky fails today though. Trying to neutralize the attacks. Peloton says
Hey Sky, go fuck yourselves |

Why would others listen to Sky riders? I thought bike racing is about competing with each other not listening to each other. |

Arrgghh, Thats my fantasy team well and truly f****d 
Same here. Chava was going so well, would have put money on him popping up for a stage win and a top 10 in the last TT, if he hadn't picked up a chest infection

Greenedge (especially) and Lotto going to chase this one back given all the effort to form the break? |

With the break taking this long to form and already going out towards 6 minutes I'm thinking the break will stay away.

Yeah think you may be right. Only team with a real incentive to ride hard are Greenedge given Lotto's wins already. Even then what are the odds of Goss beating Greipel, Cavendish and possibly even Sagan... |

Saxo chasing 
Edit - guess they are desperate to show something and Sorensen couldn't quite bridge to the leasers (go to wihin 30 secs I think) so Haedo is their best (loooong) shot.

Saxo Tinkoff working in the peloton now. Punishment for not having anyone in the breakaway?

Well, it just forces the breakaway to wait for Sørensen. |
