10:56pm: 87km, break at 2min 43sec. Dontcha love it when Brits start pointing out that their Union Flag is upside down? It's only them that notice it. Seriously, would you be any good at spotting the error? In the world track meet last year, there was someone going nuts on Twitter cos we kept getting it wrong in the Melbourne velodrome. Besides, it looks upside down to us always, here in DownUnda ... 10:44pm: Some more fun at the start ... in case you're getting bored of the ads by now ... Life-sized silhouettes of cyclists are displayed in front of a giant map of the France in Saint-Pour?ain-sur-Sioule. 10:32pm: 102km and we're down to 40 seconds again. It seems to my eye that the break gets ahead when the road is swerving and tricksy, but get pinged back a bit on the straights. Which makes a bit of sense. At least to me! Comments coming in from blog readers, which you can see on the right. You can also type them in on the right. Say gidday! Tell us what you're thinking. Here's Tim: A day for the break away? Looking at the profile, and after yesterday, you'd have to think they have a fairly good chance. Guess it will come down to Sky's desire for revenge and, more likely, Cannondale wanting one more win for Sagan. 10:28pm: So, the general classification list. We'll pull the names back to 16 so we can see poor Senor Valverde, who was lying second going in to yesterday's stage. He's now adrift by more than 12 minutes. Cadel and Michael Rogers doing an Aussie one-two just inside the double figures ... 10:18pm: So, after the flat stage that produced so much drama last night, what is on la carte tonight? Mesdames et messieurs, allow me to present to you ... stage 14, cooked up especially for tonight. Undulating on the palate. Long enough to maintain your attention. And saving a few piquant surprises for the end. Voila. Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule to Lyon: profile. 10:12pm: It sounds like a cushy gig but the journos following the Tour, including Fairfax's Rupert Guinness, are having a three week endurance epic of their own. Here's a message from him earlier this evening: Lots of tired riders today after yesterday, but expect plenty of attacks by teams with nothing to show for their Tour yet. Hot and winds expected - not as strong as yesterday but enough to cause trouble for the unwary. Simmering of discontent in some teams re the who, whens, whys and hows of Omega Pharma-Quick Step's push to split yesterday. Other news: thefts are causing concern in the entourage. One Belgian car of two photographers had car broken in to at Tours start in official parking. Value of theft? 50,000 Euros. I've hear of two other cars having had breaks in too. Us? We got our flat tyre repaired this morning after limping to hotel last night after putting a "bomb" into it. At a very small country garage, one obliging mechanic did what no one in big garages were willing to do last night. My free plug goes to this garage: Garage Delaudiere in the village of Saint Desire - you read it right. Not far from Bourges .... 10:02pm: And with a "mere" 126km to go we're heading into the fun zone for today. Breakaway, as mentioned below, is unable to snap the elastic, still just under a minute clear. The riders are on the slope of the second semi-serious lump of the day. Six more categorised climbs from about 100km to go. Settle in, this should be good ... 9:57pm: So, this Tour de France lark. What's it all about, how does it work? You probably already know, dear reader, or you likely wouldn't be here. But here's a fun animated 10 minute video that might fill in a knowledge gap or two, and prove handy for explaining to friends and partners why you're choosing to sit on the lounge on a Saturday night. With suitably Gallic-accented commentary! 9:52pm: There is (no surprises) a breakaway established, and it's a biggie. Some 18 riders. They're out front by just over a minute. And look who's in it ... The Jensie, Oldest, Hardest, Wildest Man in the Peloton ™. The break started with five men, including the aforementioned Mr Voigt, plus Blel Kadri and "Aussie" Arthur Vichot. But more riders bridged the gap. This is going to get interesting. ens Voigt of Germany and Radioshack Leopard drives the early breakaway of four riders during stage fourteen of the 2013 Tour de France. 9:33pm: I dunno about you, but I spent a bit of today rubbing it in to fellow Tour fans who had decided not to watch last night "because it was looking like a boring, flat stage." Splits in the bunch. Unfortunately timed punctures. A yellow jersey exposed. A final escape for a famous victory. Last night's stage was a rolling, roiling mass of excitement. If you missed it, here's some catch-up reading. Rupert Guinness: Worse than a mountain stage Yours truly's efforts: As it happened: stage 13 live blog.
