Quintana is fucking hopeless, I've seen club riders put in more effort on a Sunday club run 60 miler to a coffee shop the lazy bastard.

Hopefully he won't be on the podium. Can't see Valverde helping him too much in the remaining stages. Froome looks very strong and completely in control.

He's in with a shout for tomorrow's stage and must fancy Paris given current form.Well according to The Torygraph yesterday he's now saying he still intends to ride to Paris whereas in last weeks Cycling Weekly he claimed he'd withdraw before The Alps. Who knows!A few days ago he was talking about Paris in a 'see how it goes' type of vein. He's keen to win on the Champs Elysee but doesn't want to kill himself for Rio in the process.

Cavendish! 4th stage win, mighty impressive.
As an aside I have been impressed by David Millar's input as co commentator. Pity some of our ex footballers are not up to his standard regarding their own sport.

It's a fine line.
Froome's legendary bike (mis) handling skills there, stay off the white line numb nuts.

Plus it's all so fucking dull, grey, light grey or dark grey.
