    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.

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

    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.
