3. Bradley Wiggins (GBR) SKY at 19"

Alejandro Valverde has got what he was working for: a stage win in the Tour de France. It's the third time since 2005 that he's won a stage of this race. He beats Froome by 18".
Froome is looking behind more than he's looking ahead. He has to check that Wggins can match his pace and he seems to be begging the race leader to be allowed to go ahead...
Valverde is only 24" ahead of Wiggins and Froome and there is less than 1km to go.
