    That pinch point has caused havoc.
    Some folks are going to lose serious time.

    That's put the pressure on - think they don't know if anyone's caught behind

    Does he not realise this finishes on a climb? He really does just rock up and spew whatever comes into his head...

    That's quite a split.

    I expect at least one GC contender has missed the split, but I could be wrong.

    Froome ships more time. Some way back.

    I had Woods for PTP and did think that EF had got it wrong when they had a ride up the front peering backwards... but Woods played it slow and came through on Wellens' tail...

    GC time gaps anyone?

    Columbian TV is incredible at the live interviews literally 20m after the finish line by the way.
