There is an overhead shot video that will explain Valverde's acceleration better
For now, see this 1.2Km to go, finish video

164KM stage today which is not coming on ten sports co they feel windies vs Australia is more important  (All luck is with Neo Sports guys ) 
A category 3 climb today. I don't get it this time around. Tour organizers have as if conspired that they do not want to give the sprinters any day of glory  A real undulating and a tough stage from Auray to Saint-Brieuc. I don't think Valverde is not losing the yellow jersey today, no sprinter did well yesterday to be within the time slot to take it, even if they have a good day today.
Ten Sports
EDIT: ahh well, good, i will watch Nadal vs Fedex instead

Thanks to ten sports, couldn't watch the race 
Will watch today's highlights tomorrow.
Looks like the sprinters finally had a day of glory Hushovd won the second stage SAINT-BRIEUC, France — Thor Hushovd won the second stage of the Tour de France on Sunday after leading a group sprint.
Spain's Alejandro Valverde finished in the trailing pack and retained the yellow jersey after the mostly flat 164.5-kilometre route from Auray to Saint-Brieuc.
Hushovd, a Norwegian sprint specialist with the Credit Agricole team, won his sixth Tour stage by bolting away from the pack with about 50 metres to go. He finished the stage in three hours, 45 minutes, 13 seconds.
Team Columbia riders Kim Kirchen of Luxembourg and Gerald Ciolek of Germany were second and third respectively in the windy ride through the Brittany countryside.
Caisse d'Epargne team leader Valverde retains a one-second lead over second-place Kirchen and third-place Spanish sprint star Oscar Freire. All sprinters in the lead pack, would have been an exciting finish

No interest about the tour even from Doc
Come on Doc, you have already missed the best stages if you are not watching. We are into the pyrenees, today being the tough 2nd mountain stage and the mountain top finish
* Km 38.5 - Cô te de Benejacq - 2.6 km climb to 6.9 % - Category 3
* Km 67.0 - LOUCRUP - 2.0 km climb to 6.9 % - Category 3
* Km 106.0 - Col du Tourmalet - 17.7 km climb to 7.5 % - Category H
* Km 156.0 - HAUTACAM - 14.4 km climb to 7.2 % - Category H
An absolute treat and really will bring out the best of Evans and Valverde today
(i watched the yesterdays stage, brilliant brilliant acceleration by Ricardo Rico although evans and the gang never attacked, today will be different though. )
Updates when the race finish, am watching it for now

Updates when the race finish, am watching it for now safin i am cursing my luck even though i am getting excellent work but i cant keep track of tour on TV as its been hectic schedule for me.
today i started browser just now so no updates from me.
i have tried to keep up with internet.
no tv at clinic for me as tensports is not cacheable in my tv tuner and no neo sports here.
this time around the starts are little early and tour speed is fast so while i reach home already there is time of presentations
hope next week of alps will be better.
but i am not happy with this years tour as while to balance the things i feel organisers have taken off controversy, excitement, glory from the competition.
and now i dont feel supporting cadel evans he seems to sit on the leaders and keep gaining if he does not work better in alps he is  from my favourites.
