    A wee flutter in his bowels perhaps?

    3rd time lucky for Landa?

    He probably won't need to sprint, so a good chance.

    Dumoulin riding like Cram ran in the 80s.

    I dunno, I think Dumoulin might be struggling up the rest of this final climb, he's sitting way down in that group. Even his Sunweb teammates are still with him, they must be crawling up there :D

    He is sort of hanging on the back though.

    Maybe a bluff to burn through Movistar teammates?

    This is a 'thing' now isn't it? A meme if you will.

    Now he's back.
    Commentators keep going nuts when he gets dropped.

    But he does it every climb, and he was chatting away to Geschke just then so he can't be that bad.

    Squeaky bum time. The elastic goes snap.

    Hatch is also annoying me by referring to Kelly by his full name every single time.

    But he is being dropped from a big group. It is different when someone like Quintana accelerates and he doesn't follow.

    Tommy D is one of the most exciting GT rides to watch, his backward breakaways are nail biting!

    As a side note, has Geschke inherited the title of "Best Beard in the Peloton" now that Paolini has retired?

    Pinot is well place if Nibali and Quintana find they don't have the legs.

    I think the interesting bit to watch is now the gradient is starting to ease up and he's only lost 20s - can he manage it or come back?

    The newly appointed "best beard in the peloton" is cooked.

    Dumoulin on his own.

    Hahaha, Columbian fan running alongside Dumoulin waving some toilet roll in his face.

    The Columbian fans do seem worse than most really, I loved it when Froome clocked that one in the Tour last year.

    I might have to have a wine. My nerves are shot to pieces.

    They probably think they're so original and hilarious.

    If it's not a man in his pants with a stuffed boar missing a leg then it is nothing.
