    TGH blows, G attacks and only Bardet can hold him. Geraint drops Bardet.

    Dan thinks he has it, realises G is coming but holds on. Yates 3rd - not a bad day for the Brits!

    Split to pieces in the last 2-3km. Moscon loses about 1.15.

    Before bonuses

    Martin
    Thomas at 4"
    Yates at 15"

    Good performance by G there, riding Bardet off his wheel as well.

    Did Dan Martin think the line was a lot earlier than it was?
    Correlation is not causation.

    with Bardet looking this weak, who will be the great french hope?

    Looked that way. Was as well that he had such a gap, G looked to be closing fast just before that.

    Gaudu is the next one. Well, it was Latour, but I think he may have been discarded.

    Can I say that I think that Bardet as a big race contender is a bit overrated. He's in his seventh pro season now and the only stage race he's won is the Tour de L'Ain in 2013. By contrast Thomas has six stage race wins to his name.

    One of them has been on the TDF podium twice in the last two years.

    The other has never raced a TdF as leader.

    But I don't see Bardet converting those podiums into wins. He's like a cricketer who makes lots of 50s but never a 100.

    No dispute over Thomas' potential.

    I don't think he's not a contender, it's just I don't see him winning against top competition. 3rd-6th is his natural habitat.
