    That's a really nasty start to a climb. Hairpin into it, with a huge gutter all the way across the road.

    35 seconds between groups apparently. Though front group is well strung out, so a huge way from front to back of it.

    Kristoff has a problem with gears, not puncture.

    Peloton together again.

    Nope. Rode three abreast up the climb.

    Unless he's going to go on the gravel climb.
