    Almeida by far the best of the GC top 10, at the climb check point.

    It appears McNulty has shipped a minute plus to Ganna (most of it after the second check). He'll probably move into the top 10 on GC though.

    Currently third on the stage.

    Almeida 28 seconds down at the second check, so as you guys have said it'll be another stage win for Ganna. GC-wise, the maglia rosa is gaining time on all bar McNulty to that point.

    Looking like Tao put in a very solid ride. Can we make the last TT a TTT please?

    Kelderman and Almeida come out of that the best.

    Only Kelderman within a minute of Almeida on the GC now.
    The rest are over 2 to 4 minutes back.

    Great day for McNulty - he was the fastest GC rider and is now just 12 seconds behind third-placed Bilbao.

    Almeida now has 0:56 on Kelderman and 2:11 on Bilbao.

    Just tried to switch ES Player on only to find my Firestick seems to have completely wiped itself so now having to set it back up from scratch and reinstall the app. Will be over by time I start watching

    As expected missed it all. I'm assuming Nibali had a mare as well as Fuglsang. Decent by Kelderman.

    If ineos stick to chasing stages and give up on Tao's GC hopes then there's a good chance of the hat trick for Ganna.

    I don't think these two are mutually exclusive. Although I'm not sure they have a team to win stages in the high mountains from a break anyway.

    He came pretty close. Bloody good ride, only beaten by 3 of those above him. Up to 11th.

    I've been thinking this the whole time!

    For the first few stages I assumed I'd misheard Hatch making an actual reference...
