    I think that front group might be too small now.

    Groups all over the place now though

    Martinez dropped on descent?

    Dani Martinez needs to be sent to descending school a la Pinot.

    This stage has flown past ...fast?

    Not especially. Just ahead of the middle schedule.
    Should finish a few minutes after 4pm.

    Not enough road left to beat bernal bar a utter collapse and he looks fine to me.

    He is good at that.

    Pretty useless for a mountain domestique, really (I mean, obviously he did a great job the other day but it's a pretty key weakness)

    The question is if those 4 in the front are knackered now I guess. If Yates has been sitting in and is feeling good that gap could go quickly.

    They let Bernal take the 1s bonus remaining there I think.

    Whys the inetmediate so close to the top...

    Bernal picking up the last bonus second on the sprint. Caruso attacks and drops Bardet, who wasn't helping
