    Yates losing time on chava now

    at 1'05 from Kadri, 20" from Chava


    Yip. Was closer to chava before wasn't he? Or is he hiding steady and I misread the time gap earlier?

    Sky ticker claimed that they were at 37" and 39" respectively, then suddenly at 40" and 59" so I reckon it was an error from the timing, unless Chava woke up and put a dig in.

    He just wants to remind everyone he's still alive and actually riding this Tour.

    Aye, must have Bern GPS balls up - chava doesn't look to have that short of dig left in him.

    Zubeldia will still somehow be 9th after the stage.

    Looks like Yates is gaining on Chavanel if the timings are to be believed. Sky grouping near the front of the main group as well.

    This is impressive from Kadri. Breaking up all over the place within the peloton.
