Tommy Voeckler, no tour is complete without him destroying himself for a place on the stage podium - what a guy
“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”

Room for one more Voeckler banzai manouvre on Bastille Day... Thought that Big Jens was going to get the win today, but he was done about 1500m from the line. I think that would have been a popular win.
Well controlled by Sky, for whom Richie Porte was absolutely magnificent.

30-man breakaway in the foothills of the Madeleine. BMC have committed three men - Burghardt, Gilbert and Cumming - to it, but there doesn't seem to be any real threat in there to the yellow jersey. Sky at the head of the peloton, but not sure they really need to chase the breakaway just yet. Might even serve them well to let it go for a bit

Van Garderen shoots off from the peloton up the Croix de Fer and takes Evans with him. Big attack. Sky responding with Knees, Rogers and Porte with Wiggins tucked in. The BMC boys waited until EBH had done his stint and dropped off.
