Good day for the Brits again,

Miller wins the stage with Wiggins and Froome still 1 and 2 overall.

A superb finish by Millar today.

It took fitness, form and brilliant tactical nous over the last few kilometres. I loved it.

7 days now in yellow for Wiggins,

Only poor day came from Cavendish, unable to keep up so could not contest the sprint finish.

Some idiot threw dozens of tacks on the road today, so there were a lot of punctures,

Wiggins had one and Evans had two

No  change in the lead for the race because Wiggins who got back to the front of the peloton got all the other riders to stop racing so Evans who was a minute or two behind got the chance to catch up with the rest of the leaders,

A good sporting gesture.

Monday-  boring day today, nothing happened, a breakaway succeeded because nobody could be bothered to chase them down,

No tacks on the road today so,

Wiggins and Froome still 1 and 2 going in to the rest day tomorrow,

Two hard days in the mountains follow,

If Wiggins can get through them still in the lead, he can not lose, can he ?

Please don't tempt fate Pete. Having seen Wiggins ride the Lincoln GP as a neo-pro back in the early noughties I find it particularly amazing to find British cycling in this situation. So, let's not have the fat lady singing until it truly is over. Granted, he's looking a firm favourite for Paris by the day, but a silly crash, a lack of concentration, down you go broken collar bone - it's so easy.

Frank Schleck banned, proved positive on drugs test,

He said he has done nothing wrong and asked for his B sample to be tested,

IF he did take  drugs , it has not done him any good,

He finished 3rd last year but has been behind the leaders in all the stages so far.

Wiggins and Froome gained more time on Evans today,

Evans unable to keep up on the steep mountains,

Voeckler had a good day, won the stage and takes the polka dot jersey.

One more day in the mountains to go.
