    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

    Exactly.. Rowe would have done what he could and then been shelled a long time before the Col de la Madeleine

    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.

    Poels takes over as ITV think it a splendid time to take another ad break.

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