    It's half happened but only Dan has missed the front group. The one person I was hoping would be at the front :(

    Froome going to be isolated soon, Sky riders have dropped to the back after forcing the split.

    This is a good example of how Martin is not a true GC contender. Brilliant single stage winner but a bit of a one trick pony in terms of winning on finishing ramps that aren't proper MTF. Not even close to a top division GC Tter either. Feel for him as he has had bad luck but I really think if he has serious GT GC ambitions he needs to target the Vuelta and move to a team to suit.

    No team, just Dan and Jack due to Kittel getting dropped early and Gilbert going home sick.

    Dan is half a km behind. The sole GC hopefully not there.

    Froome to try a cheeky clip off the front?
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    33 seconds in 5km against that group? Don't think so.

    He had no team to help him all day.

    Amador goes solo off the front. Tail wind so has a chance.
