    The traditional early break for the smaller nations contains three Grand Tour winners.

    They have 2.35 on the peloton. 216.5 km to go.

    I was thinking that earlier for Gilbert and Alaphillipe too, after the DQ in the mens under 23.

    Showing solidarity with his young compatriot.

    He was doing a similar amount to Yates did earlier.
  • I was thinking in the context of the U23 rider. I've since seen the 2min clip!

    I guess he's not using the car to move forward, just hold position.

    Yes that's an insult to Merida really - is he really telling us Merida can't build a road bike to suit him even with a team of experts to fit him to it - surely got to be trying to force a move.

    Dennis really trolling his employers there.

    Not cool.

    Chase group appears to rapidly bringing back the leaders, if those timings are right, ~1min catch up in the last ~10mins... Down to a ~1min26secs lead.

    No Claire on https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/cycling/48373977 streaming. :P :lol:

    Watching from the floor of a transpennine Express vestibule.

    Looks grim out there. Also very hard to tell who anyone is because of the jackets!

    Why is BBC2 showing the race 20km behind live, which they are showing online?

    I’d guess they’re catching up some of the earlier stuff on the climb before going live.

    This is nothing new. It happens in all sports.

    A certain American ex-cyclist had a Litespeed TT frame painted to look like a Trek
    And I’ve seen photos of a pro race where teams got a black marker pen to black out the tyres they were using instead of their sponsors

    True. But it’s usually a little more discreet.

    That’s just sticking up a finger up.

  • Its one thing repainting a bike or blanking out a component. Its another to brazenly use another product.
