UCI President Pat McQuaid took an extended lunch from his office in Aigle so he could catch today's stage 3 start in La Neuveville. He appears to be having some sort of voodoo session with Danilo Hondo.		share this photo

Team Sky has a lot of big names on its team, but the focus is on Bradley Wiggins this week. Wiggins hung onto the race lead today, but his overall lead has been trimmed to just 1 second.		share this photo

The main break of the day here led by Gatis Smukulis (Katusha) along with Leigh Howard (GreenEdge), Anders Lund (Saxo Bank), Tosh Van der Sande (Lotto-Belisol) and Matthew Brammeier (Omega Pharma-QuickStep). With 50 km to go, it had an advantage of 4:55, but it was pulled back.		share this photo

Stage 3 winner of the slight uphill finish in Charmey, Luis Leon Sanchez (Rabobank), did enough to box in Gianni Meersman (Lotto Belisol) without getting penalized.
