Okay you guys can thank me later, but using the good old medium of Twitter I contacted the commentator (Matt Keenen) and gave him the correct pronunciation of "Lu-EE Main-Keys". I received positive feedback from both Matt and Louis himself ;)

Some animated encouragement coming out of the Cannondale car. Four kilometres for De Marchi and he still holds a 50 second gap on the chasers.

A look from the helicopter and Hesjedal is with Dupont and the pairing are about to catch Tschopp. This isn't over for them, but they've got a tough fight ahead.

 

Can they stay away and get the remainder podium spots?

A little consolation for Ryder Hesjedal, who is awarded the most combative rider. An interesting choice considering de Marchi is still out there, but something to ease the wounds for the Canadian.

You must see the number of times De Marchi was in the break during the Tour.

 

To win a stage from the break you have to be there.

 

Think he deserves it, BIG TIME.

 

Edit: grammar
