Was that Cav or Porte on the floor back then? Whoever was in trouble, Sky could really use Porte up at the front with Liquigas organising for a big push.

brilliant again from Voeckler - classic hill climbing, that was a long drag...

Inside 10km to go and Vanendert has gone up the road from the yellow jersey group which contains van den Broeck. Basso still with Nibbles driving the group on. It's now or never for any attacks.
They've broken Evans again.

And there goes van den Broeck

Pulled back in by Froome and now Nibbles is off the back of the group! Froome kicks, Wiggo goes with him, van den Broeck and Nibbles have no answer.

Froome seeking permission from Wiggo to go after Valverde for the win, but with 1500m to go and a 35 second gap, there's no point.

another 18 seconds advantage for the leaders - should be a doddle from now on...

Even if Wiggo punctures twice, possibly even three times, on Saturday's TT he'll still win. Not a chance of anyone making time up tomorrow and Paris is a procession followed by a sprinters bun-fight. It's Wiggins, it's Sky, it's a reet result.

whatever happens it's still great for GB cycling - don't forget David Millars brilliant finish in the Alps

well done Bradley (why does he have to support friggin' W***n ?)

just HOW good is Froome ?

the french too can be optimistic about their new crop coming through after a lean period

Message to Froome. You just made Wiggins look like a dick!!

Either you're a loyal domestique or you're not. That last 2km you've just shown the world that you're not exactly happy in your role.
