I don't think Sky cared when they saw it was Martin. Froome matched Nibali today and that is what he wanted.
Good little race.
edit: both should be worried about only having the one man with them.

might have been a different race had he been with Nibali.
should be pretty calm till the TTT, Nibali's best chance to get back time before the big mountains.
Well, Lars Boom had a flat, so there's at least a sensible reason with Nibali.
reposting as this will have got lost at the start of the thread. Checked with mods and they are cool with it.
There is a charity ride going on ahead of the TDF, being run by these guys https://www.tourdeforce.org.uk/. Most people are joining the group for 1-2 stages. My friend Dave is doing the entire Tour. He wants to hit £2.5k and is nearly there - only £50 to go. He sold one of his road bikes to help towards that total too.
So if any of you can perhaps appreciate just how insane this guy is, please take a look at his donation page at http://www.bmycharity.com/tourdedave and if you can spare a couple of quid that'd be brilliant.
He just completed stage 10 today, which looked like this:
and stage 11 tomorrow looks like this

Apparently there's enough side wind out on the stage today to turn over the barriers.

This thread is as dead as the race right now
i have the race on, just not much to talk about and discuss other than the couple of crashes. Just a case of everyone staying safe until the sprint at the end.
Best thing about watching this is seeing Juan Antonia Fletcha doing his segments on Eurosport. Just saw him do a great little piece about the riders bags and how everything is set up to make sure the mechanics get it the right thing for the rider quickly.

Jake Bauer abandoned, I believe he abandoned last year too
I wonder how much longer until Matthews abandons

Fucking hell, luckily he didn't fall the other way onto the road
tomorrow was? are you back from the future..? is the race that boring.?
nice.. that is the closest I get to seeing it live today.. not that I´m missing much..
Well, Martin scratched his back and Nibali picked his nose, but besides that ...
Edit: I should've kept my mouth shut, big crash

Impressive stuff there by Greipel and Sagan. If I'd be Cav, I'd be really worried.
He lost Renshaw, so he couldn't get an optimal leadout. Looked good for Cav up until 600m
What a great sprint by Greipel! And Sagan with an amazing jump, but too late ...
