    Dombrowski in the chasing group. There is a rider I'd forgotten was still riding..

    Nasty climb.
    Small road too

    What have the two Wanty riders got hanging off their saddles? Transponder? Interesting that the BikeExchange guy doesn't seem to have have one...

    Cams? Taco had one yesterday.

    Assume one of these Velon cams. Both Bike Exchange and Intermarche are members so team choice on using one.

    Easy Wanty pun today, should he pull it off.

    I was just thinking that this would be fun to ride unless there was a car or tractor coming down towards you...

    Break is not getting to the finish, is it?

    Christopher Juul in the front three, half Danish, half Irish, in the rain....
    I am clearly very bad at this.

    Mollema gaining 7 minutes seems dangerous

    It would be. Hence why he's not in the break.

    I reckon someone from the chasing group will take it.

    Ass savers - so simple, get them in team issue but not used.

    Can’t see Dan Martin in there.
    Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was caught behind the split

    De Marci is usually pretty good in the wet. 35" is a lot to make up though.

    Not that much, clearly.

    I'll keep predicting, on the basis that the opposite will happen.

    De Marchi needs to hang on for Pink.

    He's got a decent looking gap at 3.1km to go.

    Dombrowski gets the KOM - looks unlikely he'll get pink instead. But this is an impressive ride - hope he gets the stage win.

    Bernal made that look effortless, Carthy too (as much as he does).
