    I want Charles Planet to win - be great if Novo Nordisk could get a top result. Agreed looks like one for the classics specialists though.

    Some excellent names in the break today - Charles Planet sounds like a superhero.
    Carlos Betancur's alter ego. His superpower is the gravitational pull of his planet like body.

    Sky's wheelgate.
    BMC were on them as well.
    Rai were live with over 100kms to go.
    They certainly have pushed the boat out as much as Paris-Nice have reeled the boat in.

    On that subject, Kirby has just confirmed every stage of the Tour will be on Eurosport, live from gun to tape.

    Have they announced who is commenting on the grand tours?

    No.
    Hopefully Hatch will get the Giro again.
    They will need all hands on deck for the TDF, but it will be Captain "Caine" Kirby at the helm.

    Moscon showing little sign of yesterday's crash.
    He's gone off up the road on the penultimate climb.

    One of the most anonymous riders - he can't even crash when the cameras are on.

    Is Brotherton still first choice at 5live - otherwise could well see Hatch getting that gig if Eurosport aren't making him the main man for the TDF.

    1 Geraint Thomas (GBr) Team Sky 5:51:44
    2 Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Sunweb 0:00:09
    3 Peter Sagan (Svk) Bora-Hansgrohe
    4 Greg Van Avermaet (Bel) BMC Racing Team
    5 Francesco Gavazzi (Ita) Androni Giocattoli
    6 Michal Kwiatkowski (Pol) Team Sky

    8 Rohan Dennis (Aus) BMC Racing Team
    9 Nairo Quintana (Col) Movistar Team

    Sounds like a nice win from G. Twitter full of sarcasm already... shame GVA was out nudged by Sagan...

    Still GVA leads Dennis and TJ for GC
