    The fact that the breakaway took a whole minute to form pretty much confirms this one is going to be for the sprinters.

    That was underwhelming. I was hoping for an hour of attacking for the break to develop before getting on with my chores and getting back to it.

    What was the bird they had a few shots of? I'm guessing Griffon Vulture but it looked quite eagle like.

    Schär in the break, in least surprising development so far

    At least Kirby sounds more sensible when he hasn't got anybody to perform to.
    Eurosport utter shambles.
    Froome is on ITV 4 in a minute.....

    Cosenefoy and Latour look a bit worse for wear after a bit of a chute with Omar Fraile, a couple of Cofidis riders and Pavel Sivakov.

    Sivakov not looking good at all. Would be a massive blow for Bernal if he's properly injured.

    One if the few times I've seen in modern cycling where the peloton has just gone, "Nope, we're going slowly non this one..."

    Not suffering just descending like a pansy - suffering probably from his chute in the Dauphiné

    Alaphilippe will be passed by Sivakov at this rate.
