    The weakest have been culled.

    Big crash!

    This has got pile up written all over it. Ineos split it a bit but then it started to regroup and everyone moved up (as I type it's happened!)

    Alaphilippe has a mechanical which may or may not be related to the crash, as it turns out. Didn't get a good enough look.

    Kwiato called that wonderfully, he's been Bernal's best team mate. MOTM of the tour other than WVA for me.

    Lopez out the back.

    Who said there would be an attack on the bridge :smile: Kung goes - won't get away though

    Ineos are surprisingly good at forcing echelons.

    Turgis attacking.

    Someone lobbed a bottle over the edge into the sea...

    That roundabout has a really long way round!!

    Jumbo completely balls up a roundabout and go from front to back. Now would be a good time to try to smash it again!

    That's one of the worst mistakes in line I've ever seen. Poor from whoever was calling the shots for them there.

    Them guiding Bernal and Connor Swift guiding Quintana in the crosswinds have been really impressive

    Jumbo haven't recovered from that mistake, just moving back up to where they were now

    Kwia is far better at this stuff than you would expect from someone his size.

    Mads P was supposed to ride this sprint, but he'll be knackered from babysitting Porte all day

    Headwind finish, I guess that makes Ewan favourite

    Not sure I'd want to have George Bennett riding hard in front of the peloton like this.
