TDU day 5 - Spoiler

[Keith Oates]

Well the big hill being ridden twice seems to have rung the changes for the podium and the first riders home were


1 Luis Leon Sanchez (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne 3:30:29
2 Luke Roberts (Aus) Team Milram
3 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Caisse d'Epargne
4 Cadel Evans (Aus) BMC Racing
5 Peter Sagan (Fra) Liquigas
6 Markus Fothen (Ger) Team Milram
7 Sebastien Rosseler (Bel) Team RadioShack
8 Cameron Meyer (Aus) Garmin-Transitions

General classification

1 Andre Greipel (Ger) HTC-Columbia

I haven't seen the times but Greipel still has a 11 sec lead in the GC.

The write up suggests that it was an exciting race to watch.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished watching it live on Sky. Evans broke away on the last climb and was chased down by Valverde, Sanchez and Sagan and they managed to eke out a decent lead but HMC pulled Greipel along to keep hold of the overall lead.

I'm not sure I like the commentary though! At one stage I thought Armstrong had abandoned because Liggett and Sherwen hadn't mentioned him for all of 5 minutes!

Yeah, they could use some of the viewer-commentator interaction we see on Eurosport.

Fun watching live racing at funny times of the day, though. Great stage, too.
