    Sagan and Trentin are still in there, I am sure Rowe could have held on.
    Not sure he would be on the front though.

    Neither Sagan nor Trentin have ever even troubled the lanterne rouge competition even for a day..

    Neither Sagan or Trentin have a job description that says tow peloton a hundred miles day after day f

    Caruso taking the maillot a pois might make it an even worse day for the French. Can Alaphilippe give them something to hold on to for tomorrow?

    Ineos /DVB/WP starting to push the pace of a very reduced yellow jersey group. Starting to close on the front group (1.22). Still very early on the big climb of the day.

    Gaudu gone, Mas hanging off the back. JA pretty much isolated with 7km to go to the top of the climb.
