Get in Lizzie.

Since the first time I saw her as a teenager on the track, you new she was a talent.

Brilliant Win.

I'm watching. As usual I'm rooting for Cecile. I'd love Annemiek to win but after her win a few days ago and not seeing her pushing tells me she is not expecting to win.

Lizzie well placed. Good.

Ned actually calls the win for Vos metres away from the line.

Lizzie has always been one of my favorite cyclist, I missed her when she left the track. Trott wasn't a bad back up though.

Watching ITV 4 is like a time capsule. Why do they still broadcast in such poor quality?

How did you get on? I had Viviani as Captain so it wasn't terrible.

Conditions clearly weren't great, but riders were all over the place, and seemingly more than usual, particularly considering this didn't come out of nowhere,strange IMO.

Is Degenkolb out of the Tour today. I know he was invloved in the accident that broke Gilberts knee cap. He then missed the cut off, coming in 18 minutes behind.

The TV coverage just put up only Gilbert and Valls who broke his leg are the only non-participant, has he been readmitted.

He's out - not sure why he wasn't on the graphic.

Cheers, quite often in the past the committees have sometimes rescinded disqualification on time after an appeal in the evenings.

Did they just say Pinot has already been dropped on the opening flat part of the course.

That sounds ominus if true.

The ITV4 coverage is crap, cutting to 6 minutes of ads every few minutes. When on, it’s the Alaphilippe Show, he dominates their dialogue.

By contrast Eurosport has few ads and they cover so many topics.

Sisteron is a stunning Alpine town, we’ve passed through it on the way to ski holidays.

That was a fantastic bit of sprinting by Caleb Ewan to win.

If watching a stage live, I always go for Eurosport, but the ITV4 highlights were always pretty decent on the days I'd been at work.
