Yep brutal job and they're phenomenal athletes that rarely appear at the end0 -

Peloton look like they've given up on chasing the break.0

Are the break going to be riding like grownups on the big climb or are they likely to be trying to drop eachother do we reckon? Not been a day for alliances really0

The climb itself will break things up, there'll be minimal benefit in trying to work together once they're on it.0 -
Valgren attempts to bridge to leaders. Looks pretty smooth. DK commentary gets all excited.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

I like the real time distance gap and current speed graphics. It gives a good mental arithmetic work out trying to calculate how long it will take to close the gap based on current speed.0

Coming down very quickly, if the timings are right (Millar has just expressed a little doubt about the timings).0 -
Is Demare still in the race?
