    Van Barle dropped. Rolf doesn't reckon he'll make it over the summit in time to lead on the descent for Ineos.

    Slo-mo shot of Castrovejo pleading into his race radio to be allowed to slip off now.

    Pinot looking very hot. About a km until it starts getting a bit steeper.

    Allaphillipe seems to have gone full Voeckler so has now found himself on my "anyone but..." list.

    Bennet deserves a pay rise to still be in the leaders group after his crash earlier.

    Racing started for real in the break. Adam Yates isn't in the action.

    Lutsenko definitely ate his weetabix this morning.

    Bit breezy today, attacks with a tailwind go pretty hard.

    Quintana attacks, looks like he's got a decent gap.

    Jesus. ITV ads are mental.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
