Check somewhere upthread, there's a video of the finish. It's uphill, not very 'sinueux' though.

Found this 'downthread'.

Where are monfort.boom. and roche??

Monfort is in the first peleton and they have an advantage of 2 minutes on econd peleton. The advantage between those groups persists so i guess some teams are trying to bridge the gap, maybe Boom is in the 2nd peleton ?

EDIT
The peleton is back together.

Regardless of Monfort's team being a running joke I think you would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't like this guy ... since he joined LEOPARD TREK I have seen and read a lot of interviews with him, he is just a classy guy ... well-spoken, soft-spoken, friendly, laid-back ... that's why I like him (besides some great performances on the bike) so I hope he can defend his lead. Although the cards are stacked against him.

Yesterday he said: "I was on my limit during the whole climb. Finally, I was able to hang on to the leader's group (sic). In real time, the first one of the group certainly crossed the line 3 seconds ahead of me. This is without a doubt what has permitted me to take the jersey. Those are the rules of cycling."

I hope his season continues in this trajectory, his first big goal seems to be Paris-Nice
