I have no sound here, what are the commentators making of it. This seems bizzare - surely Saxo would send a domestique back to see if J-Rod is gassing.

Obviously checking on them.

The Armstrongesque bluff scenario doesn't make a lot of sense. Katusha didn't have to work, Euskaltel was doing it, and in theory Purito doesn't want a faster pace.

I'm officially lost.

Harmon and Kelly not even noticing this.

If AC was in trouble, wouldn't it still be logical to be as close to the front as possible? Otherwise he should just go for it. Take Majka with him and do it.

Contador, Purito & Valverde all hanging out at the back of the peleton. What's going on? :confused:

Given their form over the past few days, they are probably the only ones who can afford to be at the back.....though not a good idea on the downhill.

Break now at 8:08....not looking good for them now.

Sky should drill it at the front if the top 3 are just going to hang out at the back.

I believe Froome is off the back. Well I guess all 3 are off the back. Contador is looking to move up I guess.
