    Leader group also includes TenDam, Kloden, and Kruijswijk, who's just shot off the front on the flat. The last 9km or so are lumpy.

    I picked Klod on the expectation he would make time up in the TT on the climbers, but not looking good to claw back from here :(

    Jolly good. Eurosport is on and Kirby is back. Moods to match the weather, I suspect.

    Fuglsang is virtual yellow, I think. 1'26" down on GC, but he's 2'25" up the road.

    Edit; No wait, Ten Dam is there too. He's 1'06" on GC.
