    Langeveld and Hoogerland with 15 seconds over Tom Dumoulin. 5k to go.

    Dumoulin is gaining ground. Big move.

    Really hope Hoogerland takes this.

    Oh YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, so pleased for Hoogerland.

    100% he will do those stripes proud unlike some riders who wear the national jersies.

    Fortune favours the brace.

    Blanco get smoked. Oh well.

    There are lots of tears in the Netherlands.

    Really pleased for him.

    EDIT: And some mano-o-mano kisses.

    In GB, the 6 have now joined together. Curious to see how the tactics go.

    Magnifique Arthur Vichot!

    DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

    Vichot beats Chavanel then Gallopin.

    So what if he was in the break all day. He rested his legs for the last 15km.
    He stopped Chavanel making history.

    FDJ takes 4th, 5th and 6th also.

    Anyone know who the three in front are in NED?
    Terpstra, Langeveld, Hoogerland

    Its not Terpstra with those two. Some Blanco rider I cant identify.

    Behind or in front (I have no idea) there is Terpstra with another few
    Sorry, I meant Tankink. Other T

    Rewatching the last km of the French race, Chavanel may have lost it.
    So Vichot rolls to the front on the left side, Chavanel 2nd wheel goes to the right.
    Vichot gap goes up then bang bang bang he accelerates
    Chavanel doesnt follow and waits for Gallopin to cover
    Takes a little while then Chavanel sits on the wheel but Gallopin cant close
    Chavanel goes hard to cover but is just too late.

    Nicki Sorensen still out in front on his own.

    No idea by how much, or how far to go.

    Very happy that the French champion is riding for a French team. I thought FDJ had blown it despite obviously being the strongest team in the race.

    Brave ride from little Sammy Dumoulin in 7th who every time I saw him was struggling to get back onto the chase group.
