    Live on eurosport player now with no commentary (thank the lord).

    I spent a week in Moutiers hospital, it's a kind of bleak place.

    45km to go, 1'50" the gap

    Blimey, Thomas in all sorts of bother now.
    Dylan van Barle pulling him back, three others waiting, Bardet group has 45" or so on him.

    So is this the second flat for Thomas today?? CN text commentary from 20 mins ago said he'd had another one but made it back into the bunch easily.
  • Alaphilipe and Rolland two you want in that break for pacing

    AG2R V Sky TTTing their respective groups.

    Thomas nearly back, but it will have cost a fair bit.

    Did anyone see where Tao was in all that? I'm hoping he was spared a bit for the final climb.

    Yeah, not particularly well marked road sign that his domestique managed to dodge at the last moment.

    Alaphilippe has been caught but holding the yellow jersey group.
    Then dropped again.

    I missed where Martin got dropped - can Tao legitimately claim him as a victim, or did AG2R do something he couldn't respond to?

    Closeup of Gaudu's hand looked like some blood coming through the bandage?

    What a hardman.

    Rolland always looks like he's wearing a nappy when he gets out of the saddle.
