    That wasn't great timing for Ineos, Ganna parks it and then Castro has to try and keep the pace on with a flat tire. Probably explains why the group came back together.

    I'm sorry, I thought it would grow on me, but it hasn't. That EF kit is dreadful...

    I like it... kind of black Mondrian inspired...
    Yeah, but you liked the duck....

    ;)
    I liked the Palace one more than this one!

    Saw someone out in one near Alderley Edge the other day, they were going for £500 on ebay - I'd be scared to wear it!

    I actually preferred the duck... I see what they were trying to do but in black it just looks a mess...

    Not a fan of the new kit without matching accessories. So the pink helmet looks wrong. And I quite like the ISN kit and then then the fella has a white blue helmet... seriously, you'd think they'd make an effort... these are pros we are talking about.

    3.5km to go. QS with 2 lads ahead of Evenepoel on the front.

    1.09 to the break.

    Mader makes a move in the break at 3km to go... drop the other 2.

    Gino Mader is not a good looking chap...

    GC action!

    Martinez attacks.

    Astana take over the chase.

    He looks good on the bike doesn't he, Martinez?

    Martinez attacks, interesting as I wasn't convinced Bernal was looking too comfortable.

    Yeah force the other teams to set the pace when they don't have the numbers.

    I think losing Sivakov will be a problem for them later on in the race.

    QS chasing now. 2.6km to go.

    I was thinking that, he's certainly slipped down the group a bit

    Bernal got bored hanging around.

    Bernal attacks, Cicone on the wheel and evenepoel follows.

    Bernal attacking to prove me wrong again, Remco with him.

    1.3km to go. Mader should have this. Bernal looks around, favourites coming back together, but Carthy and Yates are missing by the looks of it.

    That's blown the group up - no Yates or Carthy on the wheel

    Bernal attacks again. Cicone again on the wheel, Evenpoel follows fairly easily.
