Landaluze has caught up again with the three in front, who are 5.30 ahead of the field. But the big news is in the field, where it looks like Cofidis’ Sylvain Chavanel – wearing the gold jersey – is dropping off the back, following Bettini’s attack.

Seriously, can’t they cut to the studio showing Keenan moving little plastic figurines around? At least I’d have a relevant mental image.

I’m happy not to have TV techs risk their health. Just bummed that we can’t see this stage.

Chavanel has caught up with the field again. Up front, Landaluze has used his descending skills to move into the lead, 20 seconds ahead of Ballan, Meersman and De Maar. Bettini and Garcia have now been joined by Amets Txurruka of Euskaltel in their slight lead over the field.

Keenan says “we should be able to bring you live coverage of the last 500 m” because of standing cameras etc… “should”??? if it’s not the last 500 m they’ve been showing all along, then what’s on the c.tv screen? or is he worried that even those standing cameras might not work?
