Schleck and Voeckler riding over the line together, it's the 2011 tour all over again  |

3rd Dutch stage win, nice!!! Just too bad about the bad luck yesterday. Hope that Rui Costa kicks betancur out of yellow tomorrow, I don't like Betancur. Don't know why, but just don't like him...

Nice win by Slagter 
Rojas
Also, nice to see Kelderman showed himself, but it was too late for an attack and too early for a sprint

But what went 'wrong' with Rojas? I mean, in 2011 he was sprinting for Tour stages (he didn't win, he always finished 3rd our 4th ofc). But he isn't as good as he was.

Not to mention he's 4th in GC as well.
And 4th in points classification as well. |

It's quite a shame what happened to Rojas, he always has been in my personal top - 25 even tough he didn't have good results last seasons but the guy is 28 and can regain his shape again |

I was thinking the same thing. Like: "why aren't you guys sprinting, this is a TDF stage win we're talking about!"

Rojas is probably my 4th favorite rider! |

Really pleased for Slagter after the other day's misfortune blowing his GC chances.
Shame for Thomas, I have no idea of the circumstances of today's crash but, as mentioned above, he has made a bit of a habit of crashing so perhaps it's something that needs work on. At least he should take confidence that he was cutting it as a leader in a decent stage race. |

Tom Jelte Slagter (GRS) takes his second stage and takes revenge for the misfortune from yesterday. Geraint Thomas (SKY) sadly fell out of contention, and can forget his GC ambition. The leader of the race is still the same as yesterday.
Tomorrow comes the last stage from Paris-Nice. It's unlikely that there will be any big changes, but the riders have to keep their attention. Thomas showed that an accident can happen quick, and it's not wise to be to far back in the peleton when some riders attack on the last climb. Tommorow we'll know if Carlos Betancur (ALM) wins his first WT stage race and if Rui Costa (LAM) can finally score in his rainbow jersey. |

Curious if there will be any GC chances tomorrow.
A good downhiller could have a chance maybe, but we'll see.

Maybe a scenario like on stage 4, where a few riders attack on the last climb and hold on to the finish line. |
