Unless Cadel can pull a rabbit out of the hat tonight....an epic stage tonight given the climbs involved. I'd almost wager if Wiggo is still in yello at days end it's as good as over.

Given the form of Wiggins and the ever better form of Fromme, I just can't see how an isolated and diesel like Cadel can do anything. This is just amazing, Cadel and supporters complained about a lack of team mates who can stay with him during his Lotto years, now in BMC, he is still a loner once the road slopes up. What's going on? I too hope that Cadel can gain a spark but I am not seeing it. In the telecast, Leggett has tried his best each time to suggest that Cadel is a fantastic descender and will gain time. No, it has not worked once.

Sad, when the Gabriel Gate cooking segment is the highlight. I'll go nuts if I have to sit through the Swisse ads for much longer.

Van Garderen must be invisible

BOT, whether Frank has done anything wrong or not it's leading the headlines, not good news.

You must be loving the erection medication ads, too, Marto. Take a pill and your house and garden go topsy turvy around you!

I think they should share the Spanish steak across the whole peloton!
