Nice one Deignan...
1. Phillip Deignan, Cervelo
2. Roman Kreuziger, Liquigas, at 0.02
3. Jakob Fuglsang, Saxo Bank at 0.20?
Not much change on GC. Guess tomorrow's the day...

i think he was adding a little spanish style accent
to be more easily understood. Part of the time. And part of the time normal irish accent – that’s how i heard it anyway.

He has a lovely smile :-)
