    Don’t think Froome will stay away for 80km, he is just showing everyone what balls of steel looks like

    Is Froome trying to ride himself to the finest 2nd place ever?

    Chase group looking ropey, Lopez dangling and Pinot not looking too comfortable

    Joy for cycling fans globally as Kirby hands over to hatch at the top

    Froome taking time - 40s over Dumoulin.

    There's not much incentive for Pinot to work though is there? He won't catch Froome on GC so it's just whether he wants to gap Pozzo.

    OK - Why would anybody work with TD to pull back Froome other than Pozzovivo who has been dropped?

    The key is who can get back to the Dumoulin group on the descent

    Surely the smart thing is to make TD chase and then drop him on the last climb?

    Nice road for gravel. Some of the high streets in Belgium are worse than that. Good job it's dry, though. Froome gaining more time. I think Yates is walking it.

    Froome is making this look easy!

    Yates is relaxing like a 1st time sportive rider. He's pretty much out the top 10 by now. 9m down already.

    Cameras suggest that Pinot is hanging on to TD
