Europcar will fail ... again ...

Probably, but at least they are always interested in trying to do something. Makes otherwise dull stages a little more entertaining.

I am in work.....how is Kittel doing? I have a big financial interest in him winning today, so it would be lovely if somebody could tell me that he is crusing on fourth wheel up the last climb.

Well, I could tell you that but it not quite true :p

He is in the main group, but only just...

EDIT: ... and now he's going out the back.

Literally getting dropped as you wrote this.

Giant Shimano have been riding for Degenkolb from the start of the day anyway

Yeah, I knew Deg was the man, but I thought 20/1 was a price...always a chance that he could hold on given the last climb was 2.9%. Shows what I know.

You should re-think your financial interests!

Having Kittel as fav today was beyond my imagination!

So disappointed that no riders went with the Eurosport guys. With 4 riders it would've been very very interesting. I don't think they have a realistic chance at the moment.

You don't have to have Kittel as the favorite to bet on him. Betting isn't about finding winners, it's about finding value.

So in a bit there's a descent of about 10km, then the last 7-8km are flat. 45 seconds is not enough :(
