    I wonder what Aru's got? Is he waiting to spring an attack ?

    If the other GC teams want to attack, they just need to wait until Nieve's on the front, if PDBF was anything to go by...

    Though now Calamity Jane is looking smooth again, while Gesink is looking even more like Gesink

    GC group looking chilled. Put off by the bit after the top - that should be interesting

    Fuglsang might be the best bet for an attack - given the flattish last few km.

    Roche is still a little way up the road if LRP can jump in the last km and get a tow.

    Direct Energie looked to have made a right mess of this stage when they had 4 riders in the big break and still missed the GVA group. Fair play
